2023 Wildfire Season: Footage of a Wildfire Near White River, Ontario (May 31st?)

I decided over the weekend to get back to looking at some social media groups focusing on aerial wildland firefighting. I was doing so this morning when I saw some interesting footage on YouTube of a wildfire near White River, Ontario, Canada shot be Peterborough Scanner Feed on or about May 31st. It looks like the videographer shot this footage fairly soon after the fire was first reported, their account of reporting the fire is interesting. 



You might want to go and read about this video before watching this video. The video is just under 18 minutes. A little long, but I did enjoy the video and the footage of some helos, fire observation planes and a Canadair 415 Super Scooper. You will see several shots of the Super Scooper flying over and then dropping on the fire. The Canadair 415 is part of Ontario's fleet of aircraft, they have an aviation page with some information about their fleet.
