sleepless night

CAL Fire has really good and well established use agreements with DOD active duty helos and the California Nat'l Guard MAFFS. You are right - they want fires near the houses out. FS has made overall progress with acquiring their tanker fleet but still has a ways to go.

A few years ago we all got a real treat there was a fire up the hill behind the big church off A st and 5th and the helo came in dropped water and was using the canal to refill he'd drop in about half mile to the east and fill flying to the west towards the road and a huge crowd made many trips was cool as he would pull out and drip all over the spectators with hard right turn.
