Station Fire Time Lapse

It is narrow. The pilots were amazing. I took still photos of the planes, but I'm not aviation savvy enough to id them.

You know, in spite of the crazy danger, I couldn't help thinking that the pilots were probably enjoying the chance to do some demanding maneuvers. When else do you get to dive that low in tight terrain. it must be a bit of a guilty pleasure for them...

No I really meant 30 fps. I used the Standard NTSC video frame rate of 30 frames per second. Then I captured one frame taken every 2 seconds.

The input was 30 fpm, but the output is 30fps.

Well said!

Video "author" is incorrect, did he even watch his own video? Those are indeed helicopters making those low and slow passes. AND, they're dumping water in this vid, not PHOS-CHeK retardant -they fill up with water over at La Cañada Flintridge Country Club. I'm sure the poster of this vid may have seen planes, dropping "red dust" (PHOS-CHeK), but not in this vid here.

Why so snarky? While most of the aircraft were indeed helicopters dropping water, several of the passes seen in the video are airplanes, dropping the fire retardant. I counted five such passes in the hour and a half of this video's filming.
