Great find, Zane, and killer video. As a volunteer firefighter out in the middle of nowhere, there's been a few times we could have used an option like that!

There is one out there with an ag guy doing the same. Extremely cool.

That was bad ass

Have to love how the Canadians deal with wilderness fires. They just put them ou-oot!

Awesome!

Zane, Zane, Zane.......when are you going to learn to distinguish between a CL215 and that airplane....a CL 415?

Awesome find, though...keep em coming!

Doh... I can't really tell the difference between most aircraft with max gross greater than 3000 lbs.

If you see one of those coming at you- HIT THE DECK!
Fire fighters lay prone face down with their helmets towards the drop, and hold the helmet on their heads with both hands to stabilize it when they see one coming..
The water/fire retardant has been known to knock people/firefighters down and roll them a ways if the drop is a bit low... It is completely surprising how much force is contained-even in a drop that isn't right on top of you!

Been there once.
