COULSON N160CD, SUMMERHAVEN, AZ. 6-22-2020
The "0CD" is captured against a smoky sky as they run buckets on the slop over off of Radio Ridge above the mountain town of Summerhaven. The fire had jumped the line and got established in the burn scar from the 2003 Aspen fire. With plenty of dead snags still standing in there plus the regrowth of fuel over the years, the airshow was running all day to keep the fire in check with both water and retardant.
