Big Firefighting Weapons Assemble In North State

The two Coulson Martin Mars Waterbombers are running out of Sacramento along with the National Guard C-130′s.

Tanker 910 is also spiked in Sacramento making runs where needed throughout Northern California.
Tanker 910 can deliver a 20,000 gallon payload. Martin Mars can drop 7,200 gallons per load and can reload on a good sized lake.
