Has anyone else been watching the air acrobatics on the south side of
Moscow Mountain? I saw a Helicopter headed north from town with a water
bucket about a half hour ago. I went up on my roof for a look, and saw the
helicopter making repeated passes at a smoke plume on the south side of the
mountain. I can't tell whether the fire is in fields or timber. Two fixed
wing planes are circling. I suppose one is a retardant tanker and the
other a spotter. They seem to be hitting it hard and the smoke plume is
now almost gone.
Does anyone have more information?
