Photographer's remark

"Mariah" getting ready to head out and fight the raging wildfires in the area. She carries a massive 2650 gallon retardant/water tank for fire fighting. It comes with a massive snorkel for filling from lakes, rivers, streams or man made lagoons/tanks beside the fire. These aircranes are one of the best fire fighting aircraft in the world especially in close proximity to homes or businesses or in tight canyons or down steep hillsides. They can dump the entire load as one massive drop or sequence it into several drops or into one LONG line for grass fires.
