I watch the planes and helicopters get water from the Columbia often this year that are assigned to the fire near Dufur. I enjoy and respect their work so much! They’re heroes using their incredible skills to help our entire country avoid smoke related illness. My heart goes out to the pilot and loved ones. 💛 Thank you for your service.
