As for the fire roaming near and in the Cascades, the Fromm Ranch (V's grandparents) has becomes an active heliport. Right now there are six helicopters that have been there for the last nine days and are planning to stay for awhile. The national guard brought in three of their big guns and the rest flew in from various locations. Here are some photos from tonight's adventure to check them out.
So this one has a fancy name we can't remember, but the president of the United States flies around in the same model while traveling by helicopter.
These huge buckets carry up to 2000 gallons of h2o, but if it's filled to the brim, a helicopter of this size wouldn't be able to transport it.

These are the massive national guard ones.
And yes we are all about the selfies who it's with people you love.
We hope the weather holds out a little longer for the firefighters before those hot summer days come back. We must say that we've been enjoying the clear skies and smokeless days.
We love this place. We are happy it can be a heliport to help get those fires out faster. We're grateful for all the individuals helping with the fires and send out our thanks and appreciation to them!
