Air tanker drop

Sorry for the poor quality of this clip. I zoomed it to get a close up shot. There was a lot of smoke in the air, from other fires in the area.
I submitted this to the local TV news station, and it was the first item on the 6:30 news.
I get $100.00 and a T-shirt! :-))

Yes, after the plane and helicopters got it subdued, then the ground workers went in.
