Seven dead after helicopter crashes during firefighting mission in Argentina

On July 30, 2026, a helicopter crash in Argentina's San Juan province resulted in seven fatalities, including firefighters, police officers, and civil protection personnel. The Bell 412 aircraft was en route to assist with fire suppression efforts in the region when it lost contact with control teams at 10:26 am. The crash occurred in Ischigualasto natural park, and another aircraft helped locate the wreckage, prompting an emergency response. The cause of the accident is under investigation. Argentine Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva extended condolences, and San Juan's government declared three days of mourning, with flags flown at half-mast. The Ischigualasto Provincial Park suspended activities for the day.
