As you can see in the photo above, it is very steep country.
They are based and reloading at the airport in Laredo, Texas about 160 miles northeast of the fire.
The blaze they first dropped retardant on was just west of the Coahuila/Nuevo León state line.
The video below shows one of the retardant drops.
