There are three new articles at Fire Aviation that you should check out:

1. Paul Filmer took some excellent photos of an air tanker and some helicopters working on the Fern Lake Fire in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The one above is a sample.

2. “Elvis is back in the building”, according to Peter Ryan, the Deputy Premier of Victoria. He was referring to one of the Sikorsky Air-Crane helicopters that are beginning their contracts down under for Australia’s bushfire season, along with other firefighting aircraft.

3. Erickson Air-Crane has bought back an Air-Crane helicopter that it sold two years ago to a power company in California.
