This is the kind of thing you never want to need to have (the planes). But it's a great thing to have when you need it. Three years ago we had a big fire here. Burned 173,000 acres. There was so much smoke they couldn't use aircraft. All ground fighting. But, they stopped it.
This fire is only 100 acres right now and they have a lot of resources on it, plus the wind cooperating for now is all good. But, anything can happen...
