Army Staff Sgt. Ge Xiong of the California Army National Guard’s Alpha Company, 1106th Theatre Aviation Support Maintenance Group (TASMG) and crew chief aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk, reaches underneath his helicopter to secure the water bucket clamp prior to an Aug. 10 mission at the Mendocino Complex Fires in Lake, Colusa and Mendocino counties, California. Cal Guard helicopters dropped close to a half-million gallons of water in just over a week as the Ranch and River fires combined to become California’s largest wildfires in state history.
