8 miles further south this time and 200+ acres later. This fires origin is undetermined at this time but took 4 Bombers and several hundred manhours to extinguish.

These are shots of the Bombers Reloading on the closest lake to the fire. Total trip time was an amazingly fast 3 minutes from fill to fill !!!!

1) Approach to the lake

Last shot was very near the end of the flight day. The Fire was still burning but it had been contained to an area that ground crews could handle as the birds had to return to the nest.

If I am in the wrong forum please move to the appropriate one:deal

as always C&C welcome
