JohnMitchell 16 #2 August 17, 2015 Doh! Pretty expensive bad spot, a whole DC-10 load of retardant. BTW, that's not too far from Skydive Chelan, a Cessna DZ in Central WA. I heard the smoke has them shut down for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiggerLee 63 #3 August 18, 2015 Was it a bad spot? If a neighborhood was in the way of a fire, a few loads of that might stop the houses from catching or at least give fire fighters a fighting chance. I can see it making roofs more resistant to hot embers carried on the wind. You might not be able to save a forest that's dry as kindling but other then the houses, a subdivision doesn't have that much fuel to burn. It you could stop the roofs from catching... This might be the best use of resources. LeeLee lee@velocitysportswear.com www.velocitysportswear.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard the smoke has them shut down for a while. Todd Higley from Skydive Chelan was on KOMO TV News the other night during a report on the fires.... helping to load up a neighbors stuff to get some of their stuff saved from in front of the fire...
