SD Fire Water Helicopters

Had the kids for the day so i decided to take them to Chollas Lake in San Diego for a nice quite walk. As i was driving out there I noticed a small brush fire to the south. As i got closer i saw some SD Fire helicopters doing water drops. Immediately i thought the closest water was Chollas Lake, but that it would be too small for the water choppers. But i would soon find out that this lake was more then enough room for these experienced pilots. Pulled up to the lake and the two copters were doing refills about every 3-4 minutes. It was a pretty cool site to see. The son didn't like it that much, including the one time we got hit with rotor wash.

By the way, from 0:18 to 0:25 if you close your eyes, it sounds like the intro to Airwolf. :D Hahaha

Heck yeah... and that 412 is one sick machine. I love the sound of it. The 212 has a cool turbine whine though.
