🚨 Dinwoody Fire – Fast & Fierce Initial Attack 🚨 Yesterday afternoon, T-837 and T-831 were dispatched for initial attack on the Dinwoody Fire, located 5 miles NW of Crowheart, WY in Fremont County. Within just 25 minutes of dispatch, both pilots were in the air and had already made two successful retardant drops each. They quickly returned to the airbase, reloaded, and headed right back into the fight. Two additional SEATs were also ordered to assist. 🎥 First clip: T-837 🎥 Second clip: T-831

Wildland firefighting comes with enough danger on its own — heat, terrain, wind, fatigue — but one of the most underestimated threats on the fireline is aerial water drops. These drops might look routine from a distance, but the force they hit with is no joke. A Type 1 helicopter bucket can release 600–2,600 gallons at once. A fixed-wing air tanker can drop up to 9,000 gallons. Now think about what that means on the ground: 💧 1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs. 💧 A 2,000-gallon drop = over 16,0
