Firefighters battling the Ross Fire are receiving support from aerial crews and community volunteers. Bridger Aerospace has dropped over 350,000 gallons of water on the fire to help cool the flames. This allows ground crews to move in and combat the fire.
Aircraft are scooping water from a lake and making continuous cycles over the fire. The water drops are a crucial part of the firefighting efforts, with the goal of cooling the flames to make it safer for ground crews. Further details on the firefighting efforts and the status of the Ross Fire are available from the source.
The fire remains not fully contained, with more than 40% still uncontrolled.
