INCIDENT: Incident at Open House
LOCATION: Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, 10510 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga
Summary:
On April 30, 2022, the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department held its annual open house which included static displays, food, and a children’s bounce house. During the event, a Sheriff’s Aviation helicopter was landing on the rooftop helipad of the station when the downdraft from the helicopter caused several canopies and the bounce house to lift off the ground. As a result, three children were transported to a nearby hospital for examination and treatment. One child who was inside the bounce house did not require medical transport.
The Sheriff’s Department is investigating the incident, working in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration.
