Default Southern California Fire Season - Part 8

The DC-10 Fire Suppression Tanker making another run, with a spotter plane.

Houses Burn in Corona, Yorba Linda; Fire Erupts in Brea | NBC Los Angeles

God bless those 10 Drivers, and all the other air support we are getting right now.

Quite removed personally but pretty close to this one. About 20 miles due East so the smoke is blowing right over my home in NW Orange County.

Sheez.

Yeah, that one is bad. Just flew out of SNA on the ANAHM3.HEC and went right over it. My thoughts and prayers go out to all families who are effected by this blaze. Right about this time of year, it always happens.
