ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Two years ago, our community lost four heroes in the Metro 2 helicopter crash.

On Tuesday night, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office and Bernalillo County Fire Rescue are honoring the lives lost at the East Mountain Memorial Wall.

The helicopter crashed on its way back from fighting wildfires in Las Vegas.
