A true testament to the skills these pilots posses. These pilots and the ground crews are the reason why only a dozen or so homes were lost and not hundreds which could have been the case with a fire department who doesnt have the experience these men and women have. Salute to the men and women still working the Station Fire and other Fires across California.
thanks for the information melfishy, yes i used to live in Montana, Yellowstone in '88. i know that the fire fighting community draws resources from all over when a big one hits, thank to all who have helped out from wherever they hail from.
no doubt the ca firefighters are some of the best; just wanted to point out that a lot of these tankers are from out of state - i know neptune aviation in montana and minden air in nevada currently have planes on that fire.
I've got friends who live in the Seven Hills neighborhood. I grew up in Sunland
