Sarah Laderia captured this incredible video of a Nevada Division of Forestry Huey Helicopter picking up a bucket of water at Tamarack Lake near Mount Rose a couple weeks ago fighting a small wildfire on Slide Mountain. One bucket can hold up to 2,000 gallons of water to provide a quick initial response to area wildfires. The NDF is based at the Minden-Tahoe Airport and you can read more about them here, and a big thank you to our fire fighters! http://forestry.nv.gov/fire-program/aviation/ | Ad
