Fire officials are taking the Station Fire very seriously. So seriously that they flew in a 747 Supertanker for what was billed as its first drop over a fire in the continental United States. The plane is based near Sacramento and holds some 20,000 gallons of fire retardant.

Fox News caught the Supertanker during a drop.
