I’m guessing that you just take the hit like they did on the 50k acre Ross fire burning in Texas currently

Alan "AL" 🐻 🪽 :
Today's aerial assets on the Ross fire in Texas has been characterized as "one of the largest aerial firefighting armadas Texas has seen in a generation." ... VERY LARGE & LARGE AIR TANKERS (VLAT / LAT) • Tanker 910 (DC-10 VLAT): Operating out of Fort Worth Alliance (KAFW). Carrying 9,400 gal of Phos-Chek for heavy anchor lines along high-ridge bottlenecks. • Erickson MD-87s (Tankers 101 & 105): Staged out of Abilene (KABI). 3,000 gal capacity per pass for rapid-turn drops along active brush fronts. • RJ85 / Avro RJ85 Next-Gen Jet Tankers: High-speed 3,000 gal retardant runs reinforcing lines along the HWY 180 and HWY 254 corridors. WATER SCOOPERS & AMPHIBIOUS FLEET • CL-415 "Super Scoopers": Skimming ~1,400 gal per pass directly off Possum Kingdom Lake with 3-5 minute turnarounds onto hot spots. • AT-802F "Fire Boss" Amphibious Scoopers: Working in pairs for targeted ~800 gal water drops in tight canyons and river bends. COMMAND & TACTICAL CONTROL • Lead 79 / Air Attack (Beechcraft King Air C90A N61698): Holding orbit at 4,500–5,500 ft over Graford / PK Lake. Directing low-level drops and smoke passes through heavy thermal plumes.

You make sure you clean your truck so it doesn’t take the paint off - wildland fire fighter with a truck with nice little spots that don’t get cleaned off

That’s a professional aircraft fire pilot with years and years of experience and training. He knew exactly what he was doing and exactly where he was dropping the retardant. Not a close call, just precision

the wind laid it down inside the fence line, nice job. only would have been close if the wind would have shifted. even then would have been a good firebreak
