DC-10 will not be used again on Butler II

| | Comments (0)


The DC-10 air tanker will not be making anymore appearances on the Butler II Blaze.

"It helps to catch a large part of the fire, so we can get a handle on it," said Lee Bentley, a member of the California Interagency Incident Management Team.

The DC-10 has made a record-number of drops during this fire, including seven on Sunday when it dropped more than 77,000 gallons of retardant on the fire.
