Standing in front of a C-130 Hercules air tanker, Maj. Gen. David Baldwin, adjutant general, California Military Department, informs a crowd of the California National Guard’s availability and readiness to support the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) during Wildfire Preparedness Week May 4 at McClellan Air Base, Sacramento. Baldwin, along with other department leaders, encourage the public’s awarenesses of the annual threat California communities face — wildfires. The state is already hundreds of fire incidents ahead of its normalcy. ““We’ve been enjoying many decades of partnership with our firefighting organizations,” Baldwin said. “Those four firefighting organizations in California are absolutely the best in the world. It’s a privilege to serve beside them. When they do need our help, we’re always ready.” The plane is a C-130-based aircraft similar to the Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS) operated by the California National Guard. It can carry more than 3,000 gallons of water or retardant that discharges out of the rear of the aircraft. (Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
