Canyon Fire (Orange County CA) - some aerial operations

While I did not blog on the Canyon Fire that was first reported on September 25th, I did know about it in large part because of Bill Gabbert's coverage on Wildfire Today (see for example Bill's September 27th article) as well as Mike Archer's Wildfire News of the Day e-mail newsletters during this past week. According to the September 29th 7:01 AM PDT update from the Orange County (CA) Fire Authority (page may be updated when you access) the wildfire has burned 2,662 acres and is at 75 percent containment. Evacuation orders in place earlier this week have been lifted and six structures have been damaged.

I'd like to share some videos that I found of some of the aerial operations earlier this week over the Canyon Fire.
