The Police Fire Brigade from the airport responded to the accident pretty fast, sprayed the aircraft with water to avoid catching water, and afterward covered it. 

Two occupants of the blue helicopter, both UPDF officers in uniform, survived the accident.

They have been rushed to Kisubi Hospital for medical attention.
