## Resource

A wildfire erupted in the median of Interstate 84 near Wendell, fueled by fierce winds and spreading rapidly across highways and yards. Nearly 50,000 gallons of retardant were dumped every seven minutes by air tankers, turning Twin Falls Airport into a bustling command hub. Firefighters battled the blaze while airport staff witnessed the high-stakes aerial assault—equal parts adrenaline and responsibility. Now, those same tankers are redeployed to Nevada to tackle new fires near Ely, showcasing the fast-moving, resourceful nature of modern firefighting efforts.
