Three workers with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Workplace and one employee with the county’s hearth division have been killed within the crash close to Las Vegas, New Mexico, the sheriff’s workplace stated on social media.
There have been no identified survivors, officers added, noting the data is preliminary.
“These personnel have been headed again to Albuquerque after helping hearth crews with the East Mesa Fireplace,” the sheriff’s workplace stated.
The Nationwide Transportation Security Board informed CNN it’s investigating the crash. New Mexico State Police said the Federal Aviation Administration can also be investigating.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham responded Sunday to the dying of the primary responders, extending her deepest sympathy to their households on behalf of the folks of New Mexico.
“These have been devoted public servants doing what first responders do day in and day trip: working tirelessly for his or her fellow New Mexicans,” the governor stated on Twitter.
State sources might be out there to help the continued investigation, she stated.
