  • Jump in the pilot's seat of a CAL FIRE S-2 Air Tanker as it drops on the Still Fire. Listen in to the radio traffic between the OV-10 Air Attack (aka "Spotter plane") and the helicopters, air tankers, and the Incident Commander (IC) on the ground as they coordinate forces to stop a fast-moving wildfire threatening multiple houses and structures. Watch the retardant fly from a unique view under the belly of a CAL FIRE air tanker. See how quickly air tankers are refilled with retardant during a fire.
    This video takes you behind the scenes to view the coordination, piloting, and communication of aerial fire fighters battling to stop a wildfire.

    The Guys do a Great Job by all those who are threatened by such fires & I believe not just those persons threatened by them but the on ground fire fighters appreciate the work you do...
    Fantastic vision as well.
    Thankyou for this, truly terrific job..

    It's about time this site was created...I love it. Years ago (45 years+-) I worked at the Nevada County airport and fueled those S2's now called S2T's for the new turbo engines. Back then they had the big radial engines and used a lot of fuel and oil. Best job ever....

    I say hats off to the ground crew, maintenance team, and ATC, who's efforts and skills often get forgotten. No fires get put out unless you have dedicated pros at all these stations. Thanks to all of you for doing what you do. Private pilot and Sonoma County resident here.

    I've seen these kind of Air crew's do a great job from a boots on the ground P.O.V. many times. It's very cool and interesting to see and here there P.O.V. I've got 28 years in the water utility on a government level and my system provides water when they need it.and we help maintain our Canyon water shed. I've also done Fire fuel management for State lands Forestry and Fire. Great Video and cudos to the Dispatcher and crew's. Very professional. 😁👍

    Thumbs up and new subscriber. REALLY like the content and appreciate the effort it takes to put these together. You could lose or lower the music. Sometimes interferes with the radio traffic. Otherwise, I think this is unique content for what you do. Great job.

    Great job, especially this year the way you have hit fires early and hard to limit their growth and it shows, under 400k acers this year compared to 2.5 million acers last year. We still have a little fire season to go, lets hope the numbers stay down.

      That's a good question. CAL FIRE"s basic job is to protect investments - timber and homes, parks too...
      California taxpayers foot the bill with extra from rural property taxpayers. The Feds must throw some in too.

      @@archstanton_live If the fault is found to occur from the property, not natural, that could bankrupt a business as insurance has its limits. I do love the repurposing of these aircraft, although the fire-retardant does cause the vegetation to grow abnormally fast...

    My comment is only about the video: music is terrible, natural sounds to covey what is happening would be much better. Too much fast video too. Another comment here called the music “background “ music, it is so loud it is indeed “foreground” music. Just what is it about UA-camrs that they think music must accompany everything???
