You ruined a great video with the music. you don't need music on a video lick this.

Corruption at it's best. California wild fires is a huge business. We pay millions for contracting a huge number of resources from tankers, helicopters and thousands of firefighters and are paid on call salaries basis or best when they are fighting wild fires. The question is why BAJA México do not have the amount of wild fires as California, to date California has had over 3, 422 wild fires this year alone of 2024 and BAJA under one hundred why the huge difference when the weather and terrain is almost the same plus BAJA doesn't have the equipment or resources to fight wild fires. Yes there should be a huge investigation because Cal Fire is burning your homes.

Good to see Grumman S2 Trackers still in use, albeit with turbine engines. Back in the day I used to hear Conair's Trackers and DC6's take off withir radial engines roaring away!

Need to add more audio distractions. Engine noise, music, communication. Yea add more stuff.

Helos dropping just water or do they have retardant tanks that dilute with water for a few drops? And I've always been curious, how much closer do you have to drop since your payload is water? Typically the horizontal momentum of the plane transfers to the payload but water is a whole different beast

Lame music.

The Guys do a Great Job by all those who are threatened by such fires & I believe not just those persons threatened by them but the on ground fire fighters appreciate the work you do... Fantastic vision as well. Thankyou for this, truly terrific job..

Wow that is cool, looks more fun than my airline job.

That made an unforgettable part of my life. Watching plane 86 & 88 charge out of Columbia CA.& fight fires in EVERY direction in Tuolumne County❗

Excellent video Grass Valley Air Attack!! good music and great video. David is so calm and specific with his direction. Great Job you guys. Thank you for protecting us.

Cal Fire air, you guys rock.

Probably super obvious; what is Foster Crew 3?

Amazing Job. Amazing video. Thanks

OV-10's are so boss!

I've seen these kind of Air crew's do a great job from a boots on the ground P.O.V. many times. It's very cool and interesting to see and here there P.O.V. I've got 28 years in the water utility on a government level and my system provides water when they need it.and we help maintain our Canyon water shed. I've also done Fire fuel management for State lands Forestry and Fire. Great Video and cudos to the Dispatcher and crew's. Very professional. 😁👍

I say hats off to the ground crew, maintenance team, and ATC, who's efforts and skills often get forgotten. No fires get put out unless you have dedicated pros at all these stations. Thanks to all of you for doing what you do. Private pilot and Sonoma County resident here.

How about more videos More airtac coverage pls

Excellent video.

Beautiful work, spectacular footage and editing.

Bravo.Thenks

Turn off the music

Great video ! Well Done

Awesome, I never know Grass Valley Air Attack Base has their own channel.

Awesome work!

My comment is only about the video: music is terrible, natural sounds to covey what is happening would be much better. Too much fast video too. Another comment here called the music “background “ music, it is so loud it is indeed “foreground” music. Just what is it about KZfaqrs that they think music must accompany everything???

Great job, especially this year the way you have hit fires early and hard to limit their growth and it shows, under 400k acers this year compared to 2.5 million acers last year. We still have a little fire season to go, lets hope the numbers stay down.

Thanks - that was a bit frightening. Especially as the plane descended over the lake. I wondered if it was Lake of the Pines about a mile from where old friends live - and sure enough it is. Keep up the good work!

Great job guys! GV always killing it!

Seriously? You guys are the bravest, most hard working men ever! You all deserve our deepest heartfelt gratitude & respect...so from my family to all of you & yours...THANK YOU! THANK YOU! & again...Thank you!

Great video! You guys are heroes and so glad your so close. Blessed to have you in our area and thank you for all you do for us!

It's about time this site was created...I love it. Years ago (45 years+-) I worked at the Nevada County airport and fueled those S2's now called S2T's for the new turbo engines. Back then they had the big radial engines and used a lot of fuel and oil. Best job ever....

Great videos, thanks!

Great people these are...

Nice...

Another great example of what Cal-Fire provides every day, true "Speed and Force" for Initial Attack fires.

Well done…

Great videos of what you guys do! As a former wildland firefighter with the feds, you guys have saved my ass more than once. Eternally indebted to these pilots and all that they do!

Outstanding video. I work on a ramp with jets but its not as cool as this. 👍🏻

Thank You - gallons of coffee, av gas, jet fuel, Coke, then hours of aircraft maintenance and paperwork. (then maybe a cold one for ground crews)

Glad to see some cal fire aviation videos making an appearance. I will say the background music makes the radio traffic hard to heard. Please keep the videos coming😎

This fire was three miles from my house. It’s amazing how fast you guys got this out. Thanks so much!

That dude was Slinging that yoke around in the updraft!!!

My new favorite channel!! C-130 tanker😮🤘🏻🤘🏻

That tail boom footage 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 And the OV-10…what a beast

Great video. Really let’s us lay folks see the military precision involved in fighting these fires and coordinating the resources. Thank you!

Hey, Grass Valley’s on the air with videos. Whoo-hoo! Two thumbs up!

I'm going to enjoy watching this channel blow up - on the other hand - I hope you never need to do anything other than keeping small fires small. God bless you all and thank you for everything that you do... ❤🐾

Omg, this is so amazing 👏 Thank you so so much for all you do. Love, Light and protection for all you sweet angels with wing. And of course all those boots on the ground.💕✨️

Some awesome flying skills on display here. CALFIRE rocks!
