  1. Love seeing these tankers working. In the San Gabriel Mountains we use the Canadian tankers and smaller tankers along with numerous helicopter droppers since we’ve got lakes we can draw from and water catchment basins we can draw from. Still these 747 tankers are epic!

  2. It is very important to me that the Chief of Wildfire Today, Dr. Gabbert, has taken the time to follow this story. History in the making. Not one but two private foundations providing the template for this humanitarian effort.
