This is the second of two videos I shot of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Canadair CL-415 Water Bomber flew over Bay Villa Lodge, Whitefish Falls, Ontario, and dipped into the Bay of Island to scoop up its payload of 6130 litres of water in 12 seconds ... # 275 made 7 passes on the evening of July 26, 2010 between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m.
It was battling a forest fire on nearby Mount Arrarat. On the 27th, it dropped a further 29 loads of water on the fire, along with many runs by the Twin Otter. The CL-415 returned for a few more runs on the 28th. The high winds blowing up the North Channel kept fanning the fire for several days.
