Heli-torching in Wyoming

Helitorching is an effective method of burning up fuel before the fire reaches it, which causes the front to be surrounded by black and cut-off from future fuel sources. Helitorching is great especially when its not on your home forest, because when the shit hits the fan (as it often does) you can wipe your hands and head home.

Helitorch operation - involves mixing a solution similar to napalm, and then filling 55 gallon drums with the fuel for the helicopter to spray on the forest.
