@ grass -
I think you're under the impression that the fixed wing aircraft can stop a fire immediately, and you obviously have no concept of the terrain involved.

The bombers actually put down lines of retardant outside the perimeter of the fire, so when the fire gets to that point, it will be slowed down to allow hand crews in to create a fire break. Whereas the helicopters drop water on the hot spots to avoid potential flareups. The DC-10, or the "super tanker" as you put it, is basically doing the same thing as the C-130s, only covering a greater distance. I hope this clears some things up for you!

On that note, Thank you firefighters!

On Woman Answers Cell Phone, Drives off Highway 154

@ Laszlo - Were they on the 154?

@ santabarbarasand - So true! I think DMV should issue a different, more intensive driving test just for those who drive the 154 on a regular basis, complete with a special sticker for your drivers license!
