An introduction to the Durango Airtanker Base

The video below was posted to YouTube June 2, 2020 by the Southwest Colorado Wildfire Coalition, with this description:

Air resources can be extremely valuable in fighting a wildland fire. In Southwestern Colorado, with the dry weather this year and high or very high fire danger, we’ve already seen several small fires. Some were sparked by lightning, some were human-caused. The Durango Air Tanker Base has pre-positioned two small tankers, along with the Durango Helitack crew and has more resources on the way in anticipation of an active fire season.

Thanks and a tip of the hat go out to Rick. Typos or errors, report them HERE.
