Wildfre! 1970 wildfires in WA

This is another video released by the National Archives and Records Administration and freely hosted at FedFlix Internet Archives. This video is about wildfires that burned in the summer of 1970 in the state of Washington in the Wenatchee National Forest. It is a long video, about 50 minutes.

Smokey conditions along with wind may have kept aircraft away from the fire for the first few days. You will see some footage of helicopters with buckets working the fire about 30 minutes or so into the video. And at about 40 minutes, you will see s few minutes of nice footage of air tankers working the fire.

It is worth the time to watch this video, so if you don't have time right now, come back later when you have about 50 minutes to spare. It is worth it.
