If you see a four-engine, red and white plane landing on an area lake or flying over the fire, it&#39;s not just any water-bomber. It is the world&#39;s largest water-scooping aircraft capable of delivering up to 7,200 gallons of water, foam, or gel, which are suppressants that are used in a direct-attack mode on a fire, rather than conventional airtankers delivering retardant for line construction. However, it can be used in conjunction with airtankers to slow the head or flank of a fire moving towards a retardant line. The water source required for the use of this aircraft is a lake that would allow for a three-mile stretch of clear area, 1 1/2 miles of lake for scooping operations and an additional 1 1/2 miles of flat or descending terrain for climb out. Lakes will be identified ahead of..."]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:52:00 -06:00</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA["Man Charged With Starting Eight Wild Fires in Two (Colby Wildland Fire)"]]></title><link>http://inciweb.org/incident/news/article/919/5325/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://inciweb.org/incident/news/article/919/5325/</guid><description><![CDATA["(08-14) 16:38 PDT Oroville, Calif. (AP) -- A Sutter County man was charged Tuesday with setting at least nine wild fires this year in two Northern California counties. James Kenneth Hough, 56, of Live Oak was arraigned in Butte County Superior Court on nine felony arson counts. He was charged with starting eight Butte County fires, each of which burned from 3 acres to 1,000 acres, as well as last week&#39;s 167-acre Colby fire in the Lassen National Forest, Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey said. Hough did not enter a plea Tuesday, and he was assigned a public defender. State and federal investigators also are examining whether Hough was involved in as many as 60 other suspicious fires since 2005 in the five-county region of Butte, Nevada, Yuba, Sutter and Placer counties. "We&#39;re combing evidence and records to see if there&#39;s a pattern," said Janet Upton, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
