Dash 8 Retardant Drop on the Mt Peter Ridge fir North East of Kamloops BC.
At the same time the RJ85 was making retardant drops on this fire the Dash 8 was also hitting it. This was caused by a lightning strike and was close to the city of Kamloops as well as some outlying communities. With the dense forest for fuel it was imperative to get this fire under control .
Hit it fast and hit it hard.
