Airtanker 91 lays down retardant as the CAL FIRE San Diego Unit battles the #Border34 Fire. The S-2 holds 1,200 gallons of retardant and provides rapid initial attack delivery of fire retardant on wildland fires. The fire, first reported Sunday, has been held to 24 acres thanks to the quick response from our air and ground resources. #AviationHistoryMonth | CAL FIRE

Watch as our Grumman S-2T Airtankers lay down fire retardant on the #americafire Sunday evening. S-2T airtankers are used for rapid initial attack delivery of fire retardant on wildland fires. Two of them are based in our Unit at the Sonoma Air Attack Base in Santa Rosa. And with the first of the new CAL FIRE C-130H airtankers going into service Monday, it is worth noting that our Sonoma Air Attack Base is capable of refilling the C-130s and all LAT (large air tanker) with fire retardant. | CAL
