Out of control forest fire water bombing. Showing 6 AirTractor float planes, Bird Dog (guide plane) and helicopters in difficult terrain attacking stubborn blaze.

Very interesting video. Even for such a small fire you realize the scale of the impossible task once if grows larger. Thanks for taking us along!

Thanks for sharing this, I was on Tranquille Creek yesterday and watched the planes pass overhead multiple times.

Great shots and you have to love that DR, they're just a great all around bike

[@jannadem]

This Suzuki DR 200 is the best. I used to have similar types, Honda and Yamaha and both seazed on me when riding slow in hot weather. Suzi never protests and just goes.

Great Job Jan!

I liked the part with the RC planes most. 😉

[@jannadem]

No RC planes there

[@karloarsch1579]

@@jannadem I know, it was joke, when you sped the video up, the air tractors sounded and flew like RC planes.

In the 70s they would drop in a dozen men , mayby 2. with saws , polaskies , and piss cans..$1.50 -$2 an hour. take a day to contain likely. it would have been called a strike , not an out of control fire . .Ive been on up to 3 of these in one day . it was hard work . but fun.
