00:07.639 --> 00:09.417
We came out here to support the

00:09.417 --> 00:11.869
firefighting efforts . We did multiple

00:11.880 --> 00:14.369
water bucket drops in the vicinity of

00:14.510 --> 00:16.566
Hay and Kula trying to slow the fire

00:16.566 --> 00:20.040
down . Put it out . We did 58 drops

00:20.049 --> 00:22.360
drop in just over 100,000 gallons of

00:22.370 --> 00:24.659
water on occasion . We do definitely

00:24.670 --> 00:26.837
practice the water bucket operations .

00:26.837 --> 00:28.781
We go through the academics go out

00:28.781 --> 00:30.781
there on the island of Oahu dipping

00:30.781 --> 00:32.726
into the ocean and then just doing

00:32.726 --> 00:34.948
practice runs four times like this when

00:34.948 --> 00:37.281
we actually got to execute . Ultimately ,

00:37.281 --> 00:39.337
this is , that's the reason I joined

00:39.337 --> 00:41.281
the National Guard is to serve the

00:41.281 --> 00:43.392
community and doing stuff like this .

00:43.392 --> 00:43.150
It's what bells me . I mean , it's

00:43.159 --> 00:45.509
horrible what has to happen . Um But

00:45.520 --> 00:47.742
when it does , we're , we're definitely

00:47.742 --> 00:48.119
here to support now .
