    Perhaps they should consider retrofitting with higher-lift rotors, or replacing the helicopters with higher lift models. Just a thought.

      Unfortunately, there is also almost certainly a secondary problem in that the parks and rescue services are underfunded to do such overhauls. Granted, some better off ones probably can and will but likely not all.
