Summary
When a wildfire erupted in Ramona, San Diego, rapid aerial response saved the day—16 planes and helicopters took to the skies in minutes, thanks to a ready squadron stationed at the local airport. CAL FIRE’s upgraded fleet, including a C-130 dropping 4,000 gallons and a new 1,200-gallon helicopter, crushed the blaze before it could spread. Burning 347 acres, the fire was contained with zero injuries or homes lost—proof that cutting-edge air power is turning the tide against wildfires, even in tough terrain and extreme heat.
