Last April, wildfires engulfed 200,000 acres of woods and 150 homes at Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas. This spectacular video shows the biggest guns of the Forest Service fighting against the uncontrollable flames.

The Forest Service mobilized its biggest weapons against it, including heavy firefighting helicopters, Blackhawks, blazingly fast Single Engine Air Tankers, and even two Lockheed C-130 Hercules planes from the National Guard.

Richard Dreyfuss approves of this video—except for the bloody soundtrack. [Thanks Karl!]
