They are used to drop water near the fire so it can cool it down and allow the hotshot crews and other crews do their operations easier. Hueys are also sometimes used to transport hotshot crews.
CaLFire really wastes equipment and time. They never have the right equipment for Rural Wildfire support. Resident trucks can & aren't effective in Wildfires. A truck like the Bull Dawg is an effective machine. Sprinkler system on the sides, 2,000 gallon tank, Remote adjustable Front turret, 2 side hose reels, foam capable, 35,000 winch & high clearance & 4 wheel drive..
Respect for the traffic clearing emergency warning light system....
Some great catches there, love that fire truck and bulldozer combo!
Sweet catch of the Dozer rolling hot!
You got the bulldozer again! Nice!!!!
That Fire Was Moving Right Along With All The Dry Grass
What was the battalion doing at the beginning?great job on power company crew blocking the road
He was going to find a parking spot and decided to block traffic instead
The battalion chief also had to establish an incident command post
