The pilot of the Airborne Energy Solutions Ltd. Aerospatiale AS350BA, C-GREV, was looking for a landing location on a mountain ridge at about 6000 ft ASL when supporting fire-fighting crews. While hover taxiing down slope in 20 to 25 knot westerly winds, the tail rotor struck a berm that had been constructed as part of a firebreak. The helicopter was landed immediately, limiting damage to tail rotor blades and drivetrain, and holes in the horizontal stabilizer. There were no injuries to the 3 occupants.
