We assembled this 10,000 gallon tank by a stream and used portable pumps to fill it so helicopters could dip from it. Pretty effective for what it is.
A great job you're doing Gary. Very nice and exciting shot. Take care!

Here our fire season is just about to start, and we are lucky enough to have so many lakes that use of waterbombers is very easy with a few seconds skimming over the lake to fill them up.

Brilliant shot, and again hats off to you guys. We had a wildfire go out of control last night, with 4 homes gutted and scores of families displaced.

It's like a huge dragon fly stopping to cool down at a rock pool. I like it.

Very interesting. I never gave a thought to where the water would come from for these. Shame on me - and thank you for the education!

Fascinating stuff! It also looks like some of your pine trees have the dreaded pine beetle, too. Hope you're keeping safe!!!
