USDA Forest Service Air Tanker Base, Broomfield CO
During the Lower North Fork fire, the authorities called in air support
to help save structures. As of today, 4 days after it started, there have been 2 deaths, 1 person still missing, and 27 structures destroyed or damaged. A good number of those were homes.
I spent some time on the ramp watching operations of 2 heavy tankers, P-2 Neptunes and 1 SEAT.
(Single Engine Air Tanker) This is what I saw through my lens.
