putting out the fire....

shot of a waterbomber making a pass over a bark pile fire, terrace bay, ontario, late '80s. there is a pulp mill in terrace bay, they make paper out of trees. and they leave huge piles of bark all over the place. well what happens is, the weight of the bark on itself creates spontaneous combustion, and voila! a fire.

incidentally, my brother works for bombardier in montreal, quebec, and they make these planes there.
