CANADAIR CL-415 BOMBERS ATTACKING FOREST FIRES AS PADDLERS WATCH IN AWE!

[@littlejimbridger7770]

Back in 1988 I deployed with the Montana National Guard to a location near Lake Koocanusa (Kootenai River, Canada, USA all rolled into one) near Glacier/Waterton National Parks. That was the year Yellowstone burned. The fire I was on was among the most awe inspiring things I've ever seen, heard, smelled and feared. Huge flames flying from tree top to tree top at breakneck speed, burning right down into the forest duff and root systems. While watching your videos, it's been hard to miss seeing all the fuel near you. Last years fires in your neck of the woods rivaled what I saw. Glad to know you came thru unscathed!

I was in Timmins (summer 2019) and had to re-route back around Hwy 144 that was closed as it was a similar scene on the lake I was on for the Gogama fire as they were filling up. Hats off to you ladies and gentlemen that do this. You will never know thanks enough. Much respect

I have an uncle in Oregon who spent many years as a smoke jumper. I have worlds of respect for people fighting those fires. Pretty crazy stuff!

[@rickmoro705]

[@PinetreeLine]

Really cool to see this up close! Hopefully they get that fire under control. Thanks brother!

[@craigbetts1586]

that must be something to see in person one of those planes landing in the lake to fill up with water and then take off, impressive in this video but I bet some cool to be there watching, thanks

[@solotripper]

Pretty cool if you ask me

[@MichealBacon]

Hey Harlan, is there a link or map anywhere that identifies the 2018 fires of the areas effected inside WCPP?

[@RyanBe]

That’s is really bitter sweet to watch. Super cools plans but tons of forest burning.

[@benoitnadeau5845]

Where and when exactly was that? I see Ontario name on those canadairs but is that in ontario?

[@mountainsnmoore256]

That is pretty cool. Something that I’ve never seen down here in Southern Appalachia.

[@stevenrochon2513]

Just wondering why they are hitting this fire and let others burn. Is it because it's too large. I'm just curious why they let some burn and some they try to contain. Again another awesome video. I hope to be up there this year or next. Thanks
