great article on recent fires in Colorado

I just came across a really great article on Global Aviation Resource about the recent wildfires in Colorado. He writes about tanker and helo operations, lead planes, air attack planes, and how a USFS King Air with a thermal image infrared camera is used at night. There are interviews in the article, including an interview with someone on the ground who provided an account of how the tankers helped save a town from wildfires. And you will see lots of great pictures. This article is a must read. There are other very interesting articles about aviation on this site.
