The REACH 5 medical team said the pilot, Chad Millward, and paramedic, Margaret "DeDe" Smith, are in critical but stable condition and the nurse, Susan "Suzie" Smith, is in critical, unstable condition.
"It sounds like he did an excellent job," said Mary Beaver, who has been friends with the nurse who was on board for over 30 years. "The best he could."
"I was stunned and then to find out it was our helicopter from our hospital, I was stunned," Beaver said. "We are just a big group. You become family when you've been working with people for that long."
"The other gal, the one that goes by DeDe, she is the one that the 15 bystanders, thank God, for them lifted the helicopter off," Beaver said.
"They are just wonderful people, and like I said, they are always helping people," Beaver said.
"During his nearly 28-year distinguished career with the CHP, Officer Millward demonstrated courage and selflessness, earning the Governor's Public Safety Medal of Valor for his heroic life-saving actions during the 2017 Atlas Fire," the CHP said in a statement. "His service and commitment to protecting others serve as a testament to the highest ideals of this Department."
The Shasta Regional Medical Center is holding a candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. on Thursday to honor the three members who were on board.
