LA Fire - Aircraft and helicopters

It was fascinating watching TV’s evening news of LAPD & Sheriff Dept A/C flying huge orbits above raging flaming hot-spots and coordinated with helicopters airstrikes of water-drops.
Fires were attacked by rotating squadrons of a dozen or more coming and going jets dropping red “fire retardant, most commonly known by the brand name "Phos-Chek” … dry chemicals…” then reloading.
Several times I watched as the large “DC” jet dropped the red stuff directly over fires; on fire fighters, EMS personnel, and civilians; turning them into red lollipops: Hair. Faces. Teeth.
Scared the crump out of me—I’m sure someone told them it didn’t cause cancer or harm!

Nevertheless— Welll Done Air Support!!! 🚁 ✈️
