Fire King appearing overhead out of the smoke and haze to refill its water tanks in a local suburban park lake. The fire was about 30 seconds flight time away. The round trip was taking about 2 minutes. The crew did a magnificent job protecting local property from the fire. This photo was taken at about 4PM yet it very dark because of the smoke. There were also many spot fires around the area from the embers thrown ahead by the fie.
