If you have seen airplanes drop water at a wildfire this year, they're probably from Deer Park. Deer Park Fire Pilot Chris Hopman has fought fires in the air for six years. Unlike previous years, he has noticed his team is able to keep fires from growing to almost 10 times in size this season. "Instead of us catching fires that let's say 10 or 20 acres, you're looking at 10 to 20,000 acres on some of them, so with this initial rapid response, we're able to keep them much smaller," Hopman said.
