Controlled burn. The smoke is getting old.

That, uh, doesn't look all that controlled!

I thought this was gonna be about an execution by firing squad ...
and I agree with Paul F. - that does NOT look at all controlled.

When you shake what you got, and girl, you've got a lot
You're really somethin', child, yes, you are
When you're hot you're hot, you really shoot your shot
You're dyn-o-mite, child, yeah

maybe what is shown is the uncontrolled part of what's burning, and the controlled part is nearby to keep the big stuff from getting bigger.

Second try at a controlled burn, the first one was snowed out a few weeks ago. Fire breaks are established first. The helicopter is igniting new fires downwind of smaller fires, so that the new fire will move into previously burned areas. I watched for several hours, and saw multiple ignition runs.

"The helicopter is igniting new fires downwind of smaller fires,"
Doh! Upwind, of course.
