If you look closely you can see the fire that's visable is in the compartment below the exhaust stacks. The EC-135 guys will have to school me on what's in that space, besides the tail boom attachment stuff, but whatever it is, it needs ventilation. The fire you can see is visable through the larger aft screen.

Did he have an engine fire, delt with it, and was returning to the airport? The radar trace looks like an unhurried left turn to return to the airport. He made a call and said they had a problem and were returning to company parking, and that they would have to do ground transport for whoever they were going to pick up.

Did he even know he had new, and much worse problem cooking in the back?
