I have never seen a fire fighting helicopter at our airport until today. It was hauling a big bag which I took contained water on a very long line under it. All I have ever seen locally are fixed wing water bombers but they must all be off forest fire fighting a good distance away. I doubt you can imagine how many forest fires are currently burning in our region of Ontario.
It was a bad day for our dog too. She has a spot at the base of her tail that is bothering her a lot. She keeps biting at it aggressively so the boss cut the hair back around it and covered it with a cloth. The dog also now has a collar on so she can't bite at it. We are just waiting for the vet to call when they have an opening to get her in.
All in all not a good day.
