Station Fire: Tujunga Flare, Back Fire and Air Drop

The flames more than quadruple in size during the four and a half minutes of this video. Sorry for the shaky video. I was trying to hold the camera above my head to get the right perspective and I was getting tired. About 22 seconds into the third video you can see a flare go off on the left border of the video. Later on, a helicopter shows up and makes an air drop. I first assumed that the flare was used to set a back fire but perhaps it was used to signal the helicopter.

Were you filming from Pali or Amanita South of Day St? I recognize the area.
