The 153rd Airlift Wing from Cheyenne, Wyo., uses a Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System-equipped C-130 Hercules aircraft in support of the Waldo Canyon wild fire near Colorado Springs, Colo. June 27, 2012. Four MAFFS-equipped aircraft from the 302nd and 153rd Airlift Wings flew in support of the U.S. Forest Service as they fought fires in Colorado. MAFFS is a self-contained aerial fire fighting system that can discharge 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in less than five seconds, covering an area one-quarter of a mile long by 100-feet-wide.
