it's way Dry...the 1000 hour fuels have almost no Moisture in them...last night we got called out on another fire and got air support from the big choppers that hold like 1500gal each and dump water on the fire...I was on the ground watching these guys fly in (which is pretty freakin Cool) and as i looked up I was like "way cool" then he opened his doors and dumped 1500 gal of lake water right where I was standing...I think I had time to a say oh **** and then got drenched...my fire buddies thought it was pretty funny as they knew enuf to get out of the way
