Lions, Tigers & Helicopters, Oh My.

On Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 at around 3:00 P.M. students who had just been released from 6th period were shocked to see that a helicopter had landed in the center of Fountain Valley’s main athletic field.

Immediately rumors began to circulate regarding the reason for the helicopter’s and a fire truck’s visit to campus;  from outlandish claims insinuating that President Obama had visited FVHS to more realistic ideas suggesting that this was the kick off of FVHS’s biannual “Every Fifteen Minutes” program.

The helicopter landed on the FVHS campus to transport a patient from Orange Coast Memorial Hospital to an undisclosed location, fire dispatch officials reportedly said.
