Firefighters watch a Chinook CH-47 helitanker take flight during a demonstration Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2020, in the Santa Monica Mountains west of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Orange County Fire Authority conducted a joint training exercise with the helitanker, which will be used to fight wildfires in the state following one of the worst fire seasons on record. The CH-47 is able to drop 3,000 gallons of water or retardant in a single pass. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez), APTOPIX
