no idea, but what is the significance of helicopters not flying? would they be checking on fires?

They send in a spotter plane (single engine Cessna) and if there is a fire, then a chopper comes in with a bucket bag. The last fire above the house (3 weeks ago) only took one well placed bucket and it was out.

good to here, no fire in the immediate area. haven't been that close to any big fire! i saw there were close to 160 fires burning in BC. not good at all.
