That's one awesome fire, specially when you show that in full screen! 

But what were they dropping? They were too far away from the fire itself to be dropping retardant.

It looks like they're dropping retardant in the path of the fire for a containment line.

Very nice ! Thanks for sharing. I like the confidence in both the controller and the pilot. Especially at the end "I'll stay low"
