Airtankers Flying at Night in California

Direct link to August 18th video from Airborne Firefighters on YouTube

Enjoy this video about airtankers flying wildfires at night in California. The aerial wildland firefighters receive training to safely fly wildfires at night. I am happy to know that airtankers fly wildfires at night in California, I do not know if other States have airtankers flying wildfires at night.

Airborne Firefighters, a documentary series, has other videos about wildland firefighting.

I love helicopters and enjoy seeing video of helicopters filling up with water to help fight wildfires. I also have friends in southern California and think of them often when I see that aerial resources are being used to help fight wildires in southern California.

2026 Wildfires: Sandy Fire (Ventura County CA) contained

The Sandy Fire is at 100 percent containment as of May 27th at 2,183 acres. I don't always post when a wildfire is contained, however I found a video of ground and aerial operations at the Sandy Fire dated May 22nd that I wanted to share, at that time the fire was at 61 percent containment.
