Firefighting helicopter on the move

A quick flyover of my home just a bit ago. This CH-47D Chinook is operated by a private company contracted to fight wildfires. None are anywhere near my home but the Cameron Peak Fire in northwestern Colorado continues to rage and the Mullen Fire is just north of it, having originated in Wyoming.

We do truly appreciate all the hard work they and the firefighters on the ground do. Hopefully we get some precipitation soon and these guys can go home.
