UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Enter the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and 22 helicopters ready to battle the flames. On this flight, we are headed for a lake on the base with the 300 gallon bucket in tow. Our chopper is guided by a crew chief, many (INAUDIBLE) the chopper floor. From our window, you can see the delicate balance is other choppers low toward the lake. Our pilot does the same - lowering the bucket till it submerged. Once it`s full, we head for the fire line.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Right now, we`re flying directly over the fire line. You can actually see how badly burned this area is after these fires.
The crew chief spots the right moment to make the drop. On his signal, the water is released. In all, these choppers made over 900 drops, at the fire`s peak, Captain Bradley Gibson pulled it off with zero visibility.
