| Ever since 27 we have carried out missions of rescue and population protection in close cooperation with the national services. |
SAF HELICOPTERES’ first vocation has always been mountain rescue. In 1979 Roland FRAISSINET, who was very concerned about the rescuing of people in danger and the potential of helicopters in the mountain area, created the SECOURS AERIEN FRANCAIS. In conjunction with the mayors of the mountain towns, the French Civil Protection direction and all authorities he constantly strove to develop aerial rescue.
Motivated by Roland FRAISSINET’s example and by the impetus he gave to aerial rescue, SAF’s personnel aim at keeping his works alive and work every day for the population’s well-being. Hence, since 1989 SAF HELICOPTERES has largely developed its actions of rescue and Civil Protection in conjunction with the authorities :
 Mountain rescue.
SAMU (emergency medical services).
Med-evac flights.
Firefighting.
Preventive avalanche release.
