Black Hawks in action! AERIAL FIREFIGHTING with UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters

US National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from Colorado National Guard fighting a massive wildfire in Colorado. Unlike the traditional “water bombers“, a Black Hawk helicopter with monsoon bucket can drop up to ~9000L of water, and is able to source it from almost every river, lake or other artificial source near the fire, without the need of landing.
