    A helicopter makes a water drop during the Ferris Fire near Cortez, Colorado, July 7, 2026. As the fire moved along the Dolores Canyon, crews made extensive use of aviation resources to keep the fire from crossing the canyon into more populated areas. Ignited by lightning on June 27, 2026, in southwest Colorado, the Ferris Fire was actually three separate fires (Far Draw, Doe Canyon, and Ferris) that merged near Narraguinnep Canyon, about 15 miles northwest of Dolores. It grew rapidly to more than 64,000 acres across Dolores and Montezuma counties before reaching full containment on August 5, 2026. (Forest Service photo by Benjamin Cossel)

    A massive pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) cloud formation rises dramatically above flat agricultural land, likely generated by a large wildfire. The foreground shows dry, tilled farmland and golden wheat fields stretching to the horizon, with a rural road and wooden utility poles running along the left side. Smoke is visible at the base of the cloud column and along the horizon, indicating an active fire event.
    Ferris Fire
    A massive pyrocumulus (fire-induced cumulonimbus) cloud towers over a flat, arid agricultural landscape, indicating a large wildfire burning in the distance. The enormous smoke column rises dramatically into a blue sky alongside natural cumulus clouds. A rural road lined with utility poles runs along the left side of the frame, providing scale and context.
    Ferris Fire
    A wildfire is actively burning through a forested hillside covered with juniper or pinyon-pine type trees. A large, dark column of smoke rises dramatically into the overcast sky, indicating an intense and actively spreading fire. The left portion of the hillside shows already-burned, charred trees while the fire front is visible in the center-right area.
    An active wildfire is burning across a hillside covered with sparse scrub trees and rocky terrain. A large column of dark black and gray smoke rises prominently from the central fire front, with visible orange and red flames at the base. The left portion of the hillside shows already-burned, charred vegetation, indicating the fire has been spreading.
    An active wildfire is burning across a hillside covered with sparse scrub trees and vegetation. The fire has already consumed a significant portion of the left side of the hill, leaving charred, blackened tree trunks, while flames and thick dark smoke rise prominently from the active burn zone in the center. Unburned green vegetation remains visible on the lower right portion of the slope.
    Two red and yellow amphibious firefighting aircraft, consistent with Canadair CL-415 water bombers, are performing water scooping operations on a lake or reservoir. The aircraft are skimming the water surface at low altitude to fill their internal water tanks, generating significant spray and wake. A rocky, tree-covered hillside forms the background.
    Ferris Fire
    A yellow and red firefighting air tanker, numbered 283, is flying low over a rocky, semi-arid landscape covered with scrub trees and sparse vegetation. The aircraft appears to be a Bombardier CL-415 (Superscooper) water bomber, identifiable by its distinctive twin-engine amphibious design and bright fire-service livery. The terrain below shows signs of previous fire damage, with dead and fallen trees visible in the foreground.
    A firefighting or emergency response helicopter is flying near a massive column of dark smoke, likely from a wildfire or large structural fire. The helicopter is painted in red, white, and blue livery with visible tail markings. Trees are visible at the bottom of the frame, with a partly cloudy sky in the background.
    A bright yellow and red firefighting amphibious aircraft, numbered 283 and marked 'FIRE', is flying low over a rocky reservoir or lake. The aircraft appears to be a Bombardier CL-415 (SuperScooper) type water bomber, likely preparing to scoop water for aerial firefighting operations. The surrounding landscape features arid rocky cliffs, sparse vegetation, and tree-covered hills in the background.
    A yellow and red firefighting amphibious aircraft, consistent with a Canadair CL-415 or similar water bomber, is flying low over a reservoir or lake surrounded by rocky cliffs and forested mountain terrain. The aircraft appears to be approaching the water surface, likely to scoop water for firefighting operations. The landscape features layered sedimentary rock formations and dense coniferous tree coverage on the hillsides.
    Ferris Fire
    A large, intense fire is burning across what appears to be an agricultural grain field, producing massive columns of dark gray and black smoke rising high into the sky. Bright orange and red flames are visible at the fire's core, indicating an active and vigorous burn. A utility or fence line wire is faintly visible in the lower portion of the image, suggesting proximity to rural infrastructure.
