It may be winter here in Montana, but it’s fire season down south in Texas and Oklahoma.
And that has the folks at Neptune Aviation http://www.neptuneaviation.com/ (site under construction. see below for more info) busier than you might imagine. Two Neptune tankers are already on the scene of the wildfires that have killed four people in Texas, one in Oklahoma and destroyed nearly 200 homes in the two states.
And a third tanker left Missoula on Friday, bound for Fort Smith, Texas.
“It’s a little out of the ordinary for us, but we do sometimes have planes going to California in the winter,” said Jennifer Paisley, vice president at Neptune.
The tankers are being used to help fight flames that have burned thousands of acres across Texas and Oklahoma. Most of the fires were human-caused and the death toll has been stunning for U.S. wildfires.
