Thanks EC145Pilot and well spotted RVDT, Cannes and Grenoble were the nearest.

4 EC145 and 1 EC135 from the Gendarmerie
3 EC145 from the Securité Civile
1 AS355 and 6 AS330/332 from Army and Air Force

And 1 ... C135 FR ( Air Force tanker) used as radio relay.
1 EC135 from the SAMU 05 (EMS) was also one of the first on site.

French police (Police Nationale) use the Sécurité Civile EC145 for their duty but also the Gendarmerie helicopters in the area where no Sécurité Civile aircrafts are available.

The Gendarmerie currently operates 58 helicopters.
