Most of you are probably aware that we've been having some wildfire problems here in California.
This afternoon I heard fire sirens and walked out on our patio to see this:
about a mile away. It wasn't very long before a pair of super-scoopers...
showed up and proceeded to do their thing...
Even the little precision interdiction helos got into the act.
Fortunately, we live only a few miles from the ocean. I timed the scoopers and they were back with a new load only three minutes after making their drop. After a few water drops it appears that everything is under control.
More excitement than this old man needs.
