Darrin Hutchison, an area manager with Perimeter Solutions, secures the previously used MAFFS (Modular Airborne Firefighting System) fire retardant ground tank to a truck at the Channel Island Air National Guard Station, Port Hueneme, California March 3, 2022. The new fire-retardant ground tanks have increased the storage capability five-fold from a 10,000-gallon capacity to 50,000 gallons to accommodate more MAFFS aircraft and the Forest Service's Very Large Air Tankers (VLAT's) with water and fire retardant solution.
