The first reports of the crash were received at the Arctic District command center shortly after 10 a.m. local time, officials said.
Deployed responders reached the aircraft at about 11 a.m. local time, the Coast Guard said, and were able to transport the helicopter's four occupants to Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center.
