The department recently shared photographs of the trainees on Facebook, saying the internships would allow students to apply classroom training in real-world situations and develop professional judgment and responsibility. The post quickly drew widespread attention online, although much of the discussion focused on the appearance of several male and female interns rather than their training.

Initial reports indicated that one officer was thrown from the aircraft during the impact and was transported to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The second officer became trapped in the wreckage due to severe damage to the aircraft. Rescue crews worked to remove him from the wreckage, but he also died.

The departed Kaohsiung officer was known for twice surviving helicopter crashes while serving in the airborne police unit, now part of the National Airborne Service Corps. In February 2005, he and three others survived after a Dolphin helicopter crashed into the sea off Taichung Port during a rescue training exercise. In January 2008, he was again among the survivors when another helicopter crashed during a mountain rescue mission after its tail rotor struck the ground during landing.

Authorities said the cause of the fire remains under investigation, though it may be linked to tomb-sweeping activities during the Tomb-Sweeping Day period.
To reduce wildfire risks, officials urged the public to follow fire safety guidelines when burning joss paper and to never set off firecrackers.
