Ragen' Fires

The northern boreal forest that streached out in a green carpet 20,000 feet below us was alight with forest fires and half blanketed in smoke. A large hot army spread out in a thin line about 15 miles wide and slowly marching forward, swallowing everything in it's path and spitting out ash. The smoke is spreading up to 400 miles from it's orgin, bringing poor visiblity to southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The birddogs, a fleet of Beech Barons and Twin Commanders, are leading the water bombers, big yellow CL215s, in an attack on the fiery army. Diving in and out of the smoke they drop tonnes of water and chemical on the attackers, then circling back to splash down in a puddle to reload. It's an on going battle that must be won, or towns and even peoples lives could be lost.
