CAL FIRE uses OV-10As as aerial command and control of aircraft on wildland fires. The crew provides tactical coordination with the incident commander on the ground, providing information on the movement and spread of the fire. The OV- 10A crew then directs airtanker and helicopter pilots where to make their retardant and water drops. 🎥 1.20.21 Campo Fire | CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire
