The Helicopters have been away from Polis presumably back to their base to refuel. But I have just seen them both heading back out to the Polis area.

Is the first time a have seen also an army helicopter joining in with bucket equipped. Perhaps as the area of the fire is also Army training area is the reason. These ones should also be able for night flights...

We live directly under the flight path and have watched the helicopters plus two fixed wing planes flying backwards and forwards since late afternoon, just hope everyone is safe.
Re: Fire: Polis area out of control...
The helicopters are back this morning to finish off the damping down. Fire crew were out all night working at keeping it damped down.
All things are possible

Four fire engines on scene, plus two helicopters and two planes. It looked like they were managing it when I took some pics from the hills opposite. I naturally didn't want to get too close though.
