Fighting to save homes along the foothills in Wenatchee. The pilot drops water to cool down the advancing flames in order for ground crews to safely move in and fight the flames. On this drop the pilot has high voltage power lines on one side, low visability due to the smoke, unstable air and still is able to make a perfect drop on the advancing wall of flames.
