Two Fly Precision crew members died after their helicopter crashed while fighting the Dome Fire in Yosemite, officials said Monday.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Eurocopter AS32 crashed around 2:55 p.m. Sunday during firefighter operations. The two men killed in the crash were identified by Fly Precision as Greg King and Ryan Cutter.

“It is with unimaginable sadness and broken hearts that we share the loss of two beloved members of our team,” Fly Precision said in a social media post. “We are devastated by this loss and are struggling to find the words. We ask for privacy and compassion for their families and our team as we grieve this tremendous loss. Please keep their families, loved ones, and our entire team in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.”

The Super Puma helicopter was using a water bucket to help suppress the fire when it went down southeast of Ostrander Lake, said Benjamin Cossel, a spokesperson with the Federal Complex Incident Management Team overseeing the firefighting response.

The Dome Fire has burned at least 3,047 acres as of 9:18 p.m. Sunday. The number of reported acres burned has slowed recently, with the last update being 3,016 acres at 1:47 p.m. Sunday.

VIDEO: Fire departments across the country are dealing with lower volunteer numbers, but the Brockport Volunteer Fire District says it’s seeing the exact opposite.

The Brockport Fire District was dealing with staffing issues up until about three years ago. Then it began turning things around, going from 17 interior firefighters in 2023 to 44 now.

One of the reasons for the gain is a state-funded bunkhouse. College students interested in a career in firefighting can apply to live in the bunkhouse in exchange for 20 hours of duty time each week.

The bunk-in program began during the 2025-26 school year. There’s one student living in the bunkhouse right now, and the district received another two applicants in the last month.

The district also began a social media campaign to recruit younger members back in 2024.
