I’m happy to say I was wrong regarding the Boeing 747 Supertanker being used or not. In my search, I came across this link: https://twitter.com/hashtag/HolyFire?src=hash that goes on for days, with videos and pictures of the Holy Fire in Southern California. Many videos of the 747. When it disperses either water, suppressant, or retardant it’s only about 200 feet up, and slows down – really amazing.
