Technically it’s called a download carousel. One by one and in a coordinated way, the seaplanes are primed in the same area. Thousands of liters of continuous water. The high temperatures on the island do not help to cool the terrain. A burned ground. It can be seen on the access road to the Izaña Observatory. Saved in extremis from the fire. The task of the day is to finally stabilize the historic fire but the outbreaks are still worrying. For this reason, the seaplanes, starting early in the morning and almost in formation, load water in the most accessible areas and fly to the heart of the fire. At night, they do not fly, but glued to the ground, the brigades continue their fight with success. The perimeter remains the same, 90 kilometers that can be seen clearly from space via satellite. From a drone flight, the almost 15,000 devastated hectares are impressive. Burnt black all too often dots valuable Canary vegetation.
