Cal Fire announced today that all three major fires from last week, the Johnson Fire, the Panther Fire, and the KOA Fire (in Benbow) are 100% contained.

Take a look at the skill of these pilots in Cal Fire aircraft fighting the blaze in Benbow that forced the evacuation of multiple residents. They saved homes and maybe even lives.

Videos provided by a local resident.
UPDATE: Another video, this one of the helicopter pilot gathering water was taken by Rachel Soward Thompson.

Our home is directly down the hill from the home that was destroyed. We attribute the survival of our home and others to the quick response and skilled individuals from the agencies envolved and would like to express our gratitude for the great job and hard work to all those who are protecting our area during this year’s fire season. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

People should be making some donations to the fire departments. Looks like they saved some pounds from going up in smoke prematurely.
