Some amazing live footage,

right now on local TV, where a good sized fire is burning near Parker, (over 8500 evacuated) and a grass fire is burning toward a house, with a horse in the corral and goats in a pen, as we watch from a news helicopter. RIght when the fire gets to the property. blown by a 40 mph wind, a fire truck roars up. The fireman pulls out a hose and starts spraying the area, while the fire is within 10-20 feet of the animals. As they almost disappear in a cloud of smoke, you see a perfect water drop from a helicopter drench the area. A PERFECT hit, in live time. One minute I was sure the house and outbuilding were gonna burn, and the next minute the animals were saved by a fireman and a helicopter. AMAZING live TV. Nice to see some good news for a change. Still a large fire, though.

I saw the exact same clip at the gym today. I almost cheered for the firefighter out loud :)
