An interesting photo of a DC-7 over the King Fire 11 miles east of Placerville, California. More information about the fire is at Wildfire Today.

I rather doubt that’s a CalFire pilot.
That is Tanker 60 (T-60) from Erickson AeroTanker. .
Neat picture! DC-7B T60.No one from Cal fire onboard unless they stowed away.
Those Butler (Erickson Aero) pilots and DC-7 planes are in a league of their own. They consistently exhibit better drop accuracy than any other operators.
Rodger that, but I’m a bit prejudiced..
That would be Capt. Phillip Darnell. Don’t know who his Copilot is.
Could be that they been doing this for a Llloooooong time
Nobody ever knows who the copilot is. Hehe.
