Water Transportation (via Helicopter)

Cerritos, CA view map

The water-dropping helicopter made one more pass over the fire before leaving.

A couple of seconds later it is flying through smoke assessing the need for another drop.

It is terrible, all those fires. Glad these helicopters can do their work.

Cool action shots of this helicopter at work. I like the way you captured the blades in the top shot.

Where was the fire Astrid? I've been looking for a "Hot Shot" transport to shoot this week. Every time I see one, it's moving and I can't grab it. The forest Service has green trucks that the transport the "hot shot" fire fighters up to the fire. I'm still looking.
