  1. Hi John Cal Fire IA is the best in the USA! Say hello to Konklin for me if u see him and Barry. Spring finally showing up in Western Montana–Cheers Eric

  2. So that is how it works. Aircraft arrive on a fire within a short time period (less than 20 minutes) and the chances for containment are significantly increased. Very Interesting!
