Summary[edit]

Description
English: A military C-130, call sign MAFFS 6 from the 146th Airlift Wing, California Air National Guard, and equipped with the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System, sits on the ramp July 3, 2013, shortly after arriving at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. The airplane, another from the same unit and two from the 302nd Airlift Wing, U.S. Air Force Reserve Command, were ordered moved from Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., where they had been fighting fires since June 11, to Mesa by planners at the Boise, Idaho-based National Interagency Fire Center. MAFFS is a self-contained aerial fire fighting system owned by the U.S. Forest Service. MAFFS modules are loaded into the cargo bays of military C-130 aircraft. Following USFS lead planes, military aircrews using MAFFS can discharge 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in order to check the advance of a forest fire. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
