Tanker 17 dropping on the Saddle Fire Monday Morn 10 AM

A couple of heavy tankers dropped on the fire hoping for a knockout punch. A helicopter is still working the fire, as well.
Four miles away with not a particularly good lens (400mm Sigma zoom).
Update...Tuesday 04 Aug....fire is pretty much controlled at around 25 acres, and appears to have started near a camp at the river bottom. It doesn't appear to be lightning caused.
