Mission: perform an aerial ignition of a 228-acre unburned "island." Working in coordination with Incident Management Team 1 and Kern County Fire Department, the S70i FIREHAWK team used a "Plastic Sphere Dispenser" to deploy 4,000 "Dragon Eggs." The unburned area presented an ongoing risk to firefighters. @calfiresandiego | CAL FIRE | Facebook

The Night Vision Goggle program allows CAL FIRE and partner pilots to continue the firefight beyond sunset. Extending the attack into the evening allows us to continue aerial operations when we often have the benefit of cooler temperatures and higher humidities. As with all aerial operations, night flying presents risks. CAL FIRE’s number one priority is safety that's why our crews spend hundreds of hours in training while also making a measured assessment of conditions every time we fly. CAL FI
