SANDSTON, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Governor Youngkin met Tuesday with a Virginia National Guard Blackhawk Helicopter team, as well as members of the Chesterfield County Fire and EMS Scuba Rescue Team, as they prepared to deploy to Florida. The Virginia National Guard’s Cotton Puryear says their aviators and Chesterfield first responders form the Virginia Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team, providing rotary wing aviation hoist capabilities and aerial rescue evacuation. Four VNG Soldiers and three Chesterfield techs make up each HART crew. Puryear says Florida requested rotary wing rescue hoist capabilities through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact system, and the HART left Tuesday and will be integrated into Florida’s multi-agency response and employed where needed.
