Fires are a fact of life in Montana - every year in the late summer we have to deal with wildfires that threaten our homes and our property (and every year a few jackasses start a few of them, too). It makes us doubly thankful for our brave firefighters and first responders, who go tirelessly into dangerous conditions for our sake.
But boy, are we thankful for the guys that fly these tankers, too. The skill and judgment shown by these pilots are exceptional.
Just look at the layer of flame retardant dropped by this plane near Middle Fork, MT. The event recorded in the video took place on October 4, 2020 when fires threatened the area. The Yogo Fire, as it was known, burned for several days but is contained now. The cause of the fires were never determined.
