The severe snow storms of the past weeks have hit Northern Arizona so hard that travel within the rural areas of the Cameron Chapter of the Navajo Nation have been near impossible. Because of these incredible circumstances, Maverick Helicopters has delivered much-needed food and supplies to residents not able to maneuver through the snow-packed roads.
The company, which operates flights at Grand Canyon South Rim, flew food, supplies and fire wood to homes around Cameron, Arizona during the week of January 25th. Managers say approximately 100 people benefited from these important flights. When the snow pack turns to mud and roads become impossible to maneuver once again, the company expects to help with additional drops as necessary.
“When we were called on, we knew we had to help,” said Brian Brusa, Maverick Helicopters manager. “This is our community too. We will continue to help the residents of Cameron, Arizona as long as they need us.”
