his is the demo I was talking about. It was conducted on the Boise National Forest about 2 years ago I believe. They had the press about a mile away---that is the video you see. The Boise Helitack personnel were the 2 people up closer to the flames---friends of mine. So yeah, dropping water on a moving fire in the mountains not going to happen anytime soon.
