MAFFS in action

A view from ground firefighting crews as MAFFS 6 drops fire retardant to aid in the control of the Donaldson fire. When full, the tanks being loaded hold 3,000 gallons of fire retardant. Established by Congress in the early '70s as a wildland fire protection program, MAFFS is a joint program with the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and the U.S. Forest Service.
