Thank-you Wildland Firefighters (Waldo Canyon Fire)



I was just wondering the internet and came upon a video (the first video embedded below)  of a Colorado community thanking the wildland firefighters who fought the Waldo Canyon Fire that burned 18,247 acres in Colorado in June 2012. However, I think that the thanks and tributes expressed here apply to the good work all of you who are wildland firefighters on the ground, in the air, and the various support staff.

Thank-you wildland firefighters and stay safe!






Note: in the second tribute video, you will see a photo of an Aero Union P-3, T-00. At the time I write this, Aero Union's P-3's have not flown fires since the US Forest Service cancelled the P-3 contracts in 2011 and was not flying the Waldo Canyon Fire. However, the photo of T-00 is a tribute to the work that all tankers do on wildfires in support of ground troops!
