This CL-415, along with C-GQBE/243 out of shot to the left, was at the time of my visit on lease to the State of California and only flew if there is a fire somewhere in the hills. This wasn't the case during my visit to KVNY but it would be called in to action only a few months later to fight the devastating forest and canyon fires around Los Angeles in January 2025.

This CL-415, along with C-GQBG/245 out of shot to the right, were at the time of my visit on lease to the State of California and only flies if there is a fire somewhere in the hills. Fortunately, this wasn't the case during my visit to KVNY, although it meant that this was the only angle available. [Note, this was the plane that struck a drone whilst fighting the devastating forest and canyon fires around Los Angeles in January 2025. It had to be grounded for repairs at exactly the wrong time. The 249g drone remained lodged in the wing leading edge and was only noticed after landing.]
