Cedar Fire operations include helicopter release of water where needed during the Cedar Fire in the Sequoia National Forest near Posey, CA, on Sunday, August 22, 2016.
The hose below the helicopter allows water tanks to be refilled while hovering low over bodies of water, in this case a pond near the Balance Rock community in Tulare County. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
