Day 5: They've brought in the "big guns." Smaller planes are dropping white fire retardant chemicals in frequent passes over the ridge, and every twenty minutes or so (presumably the turn-around time for a reload), at least one larger plane makes a pass with the red stuff. It is hard to tell which trees have been singed and which ones are coated with the retardant. Helicopter flights are also continuing.
