Disco is the music that America tried to forget. By the end of the 1970s Saturday Night Fever rocketed through the marketing stratosphere, Studio 54 was dominating the front pages, and the charts were controlled by the likes of the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, and the Village People. But then radio talk jock Steve Dahl publicly detonated a pile of 40,000 disco records during the interval of a Chicago White Sox double-header in July 1979, and by the end of the year some 20,000 discotheques had hastily closed. Opening with David Mancuso's seminal "Love Saves the Day" Valentine's party in February 1970, Tim Lawrence presses the rewind button and tells the definitive story of disco -- from its murky subterranean roots in NoHo and Hell's Kitchen to its gaudy blossoming in midtown Manhattan to the out-of-town networks that emerged in the suburbs and alternative urban hotspots such as Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and New Jersey. Tales of nocturnal journeys, radical music making, and polymorphous sexuality flow through the arteries of Love Saves the Day like liquid vinyl.They are interspersed with a detailed analysis of the era's most powerful DJs, the venues in which they played, and the records they loved to spin. Love Saves the Day includes material from over three hundred original interviews with the scene's most influential players, including John "Jellybean" Benitez, Michael Cappello, Ken Cayre, Alec Costandinos, Steve D'Acquisto, Michael Fesco, Rochelle Fleming, Francis Grasso, Alan Harris, Loleatta Holloway, Francois Kevorkian, Frankie Knuckles, David Mancuso, Vince Montana, Giorgio Moroder, Tom Moulton, Steve Ostrow, Marvin Schlachter, Nicky Siano, Judy Weinstein, Robert Williams and Earl Young. It also contains a series of specially compiled discographies and a unique collection of more than seventy rare photos.

FATAL DRIVE-BY
Father gunned down in New York while holding hands with his 6-year-old daughter as they crossed a street
Nicole Darrah, News Reporter
A FATHER was shot dead while walking his six-year-old daughter through a New York City street on Sunday, video shows.
Anthony Robinson, 29, was crossing the road just before 6pm in the Bronx borough of the city when a car appeared as though it was going to turn onto the crosswalk.

As Robinson held his daughter's hand while they walked, the car didn't turn, but rather followed the pair as they made it to the other side of the street.
Roughly 10 seconds into the video, released by the New York Police Department, someone in the passenger seat of the car is seen pulling out a gun and holding it in broad daylight.
Suddenly, the father drops to the ground as his daughter follows a passerby who flees the scene.
The vehicle veers to the left and drives off, as Robinson appears to writhe in pain on the ground.

Rodney Harrison, the NYPD's chief of detectives, tweeted on Monday that Robinson was shot "multiple times."
The 29-year-old later died from his injuries, per police.
Harrison posted surveillance footage online and asked for any information related to the man's death.
According to the New York Post, Robinson — who lived in Brooklyn — was one of eight homicides throughout the city during the Fourth of July weekend.
At least 49 shootings were reported in total.
The deadly holiday weekend follows a more than 130 percent surge in crime in June, compared to June 2019.

Police announced on Monday that the number of shootings rose in all five boroughs, reporting that 205 shootings involving 270 people occurred last month, compared to 89 shootings during that period last year.
"The sharp increase in shootings and violence in New York puts innocent people at risk and tears at the fabric of life in our city," Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said in a statement.
Police said Robinson died from his injuriesCredit: CCTV
"The challenges are great for an NYPD facing the strain of deep budget cuts, changes to the criminal justice system that are impacting the courts, and the continuing international health pandemic."
He continued: "But through it all, I have seen our hardworking men and women display an unwavering commitment to the kind of fair and effective policing that defines our agency and that New Yorkers expect and deserve."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio blamed the surge in violence on the coronavirus pandemic during a news conference on Monday.

He said the city saw "too much violence" during the holiday weekend, and told reporters: "We have a lot of work to do to address it."
"There is not one cause for something like this," de Blasio said, claiming that the economy, the court system, and the virus outbreak keeping people inside are to blame.
Anyone with information on Robinson's death in the Bronx on Sunday is urged to call NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

"The Cross is such an iconic thing is, it belongs to all of us"
Australian singer-songwriter Gary Stephen "Angry" Anderson AM has welcomed the easing to Sydney's lock out laws, saying he would "love to see the Cross come back to life again".
It follows Friday's announcement by the NSW Government that it will lift the freeze on new liquor licences in Kings Cross and the Sydney CBD from June 1 for venues with a focus on live music, arts and culture.
Minister for Racing Paul Toole said it was the first significant change to the liquor licence freeze in Kings Cross and the CBD since 2014.
"New businesses offering live music as well as broader arts and cultural events will be able to apply to open in Kings Cross and the CBD," Toole said.
Angry says police have to be there, but that changes were welcomed.
"The Cross is such an iconic thing is, it belongs to all of us."
In a major boost to the city's night-life economy, the reforms will throw the doors open to a range of new nightspots with a live music, arts and culture focus.
The change means the Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority can consider new on-premises licence applications for dedicated live music venues as well as venues that host visual or performance arts or other cultural events.
In 2016, the NSW Government eased restrictions on small bars, lifting the patron limit from 60 to 100 across the state and extended trading times for small bars in the Sydney CBD and Kings Cross from midnight to 2am.
"Small bar licence numbers have almost doubled across NSW since the reforms and they are adding to diversity of Sydney's nightlife," Mr Toole said.
The freeze on new liquor licences in Kings Cross and the CBD for higher-risk venues such as hotels, clubs, bars and nightclubs will be extended for a further 12 months.

Are There Such Things as Healthy Hotdogs?
By Jeff Jurmain - December 15, 2011
They are a beloved food served at barbecues, birthday parties and ballparks. But deep down we all know that the basic hotdog is not a healthy thing to eat. Recently, food chemists got together to see if a healthier fat could be used in the hotdog-making process to make these processed treats healthier for those who love them. Here's what they found.
It was an effort to replace animal fat (saturated fat) in hotdogs, sausages, hamburgers and other not-so-optimal foods as far as nutrition is concerned. Along the way, scientists reported an advance in solving the mystery of why hot dogs are troublesome when animal fat is substituted out. Their report is in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry."
The problem has been that the healthier vegetable oils give hotdogs an unpleasant, tough texture.
RECOMMENDED: Beware of Processed Meats
In the marketplace, some brands of sausage have been reformulated with an olive-oil-in-water emulsion as a source of more healthful fat. With consumers gobbling up tens of billions of hot dogs each year, and the typical frankfurter packing 80% of its calories from fat, hot dogs have become a prime candidate for reformulation.
Some hot dogs reformulated with vegetable oil develop an unpleasant, chewy texture. The researchers wanted to uncover the chemistry behind that change. so that they could help guide food companies toward a better version of a low-fat hotdog or sausage.
Let's call it hotdog science! Using a lab instrument called an infrared spectrometer, the research group verified that sausages made with the heart-healthy olive oil emulsion stabilized with the protein casein were slightly tougher.
But when frankfurters were made with an emulsion stabilized with a combination of casein and the mouthful of an additive called "microbial transglutaminase," the sausage become far tougher. Their lab study revealed a complicated-sounding process by which the healthier fats ended up making sausages tougher than those made with old-fashioned animal fat.
So, to answer the original question, so far, we can make healthier hotdogs, but they are not as soft and juicy and fun to eat. In spite of this result, there are many brands of "veggie dogs" on the market that contain a bounty of essential nutrients. Reading the health information on a package actually reveals surprisingly healthy, nutrient-dense hotdogs.
Until they can engineer a low-fat hotdog that's palatable, switching out hotdogs for the non-meat version every so often is a very strong step toward better nutrition. And watch out for condiments, which are high in salt and low in nutrition.

New Fast Five Trailer: 2011 Dodge Charger Proves That Car Chases Make Movies Better
Richard Read April 5, 2011 Comment Now!
Every so often, movie directors find themselves in a bind. Maybe their budgets get slashed. Maybe their scripts aren't quite as awesome as they first thought. Maybe they wake up and realize, "Holy crap, we cast VINCE VAUGHN."
That's when they start scrambling, throwing everything they can at the project to make sure the film breaks even. Frequently on the menu? Car chases. Because, as Dodge demonstrates in its new tie-in trailer for Fast Five, car chases make movies better.
Dodge has inked a major partnership with Universal Pictures for Fast Five, supplying 2010 and 2011 Dodge Chargers for the upcoming film. Dodge also launched a special Fast Five-themed website, which includes a sweepstakes giving visitors a shot at winning one of five Fast Five 2011 Dodge Charger R/T models. (FYI, the sweepstakes was meant to launch yesterday, but as of now, it's still "coming soon").
Given its smaller prospective audience and pre-summer release, Fast Five probably won't do as much for Chrysler as, say, the Transformers movies have done for Chevrolet, but it should at least match the return that Chrysler earned from sponsoring the less-than-stellar Terminator Salvation.
Here's a look at the aforementioned Fast Five tie-in commercial from Dodge. With all due respect to fans of 18th century French dramas, we think it's pretty good:
Will Fast Five be that good? We're not taking any bets until after its debut on April 29.
More details in the press release below.
Dodge Brand and Universal Pictures Launch Partnership Built On Speed For "Fast Five"

All Blown Up
As the smoke clears on week 12 in the Reign of Error, we survey the damage from bunker busters in Afghanistan to the filibuster in the Senate. Clearly the most explosive week yet.
Employing his "Bomb-the-shit-out-of-them" strategy for defeating ISIS, Trump ordered the use of the GBU-43/B MOAB, which stands for Massive Ordinance Air Blast, or more popularly as Mother Of All Bombs. It is the most powerful non-nuclear bomb ever used by the U.S. in combat, and was dropped on Islamic State tunnels in Nangarhar province. The $314 million weapon reportedly killed 36 militants.
Shortly after dropping the MOAB, Trump scurried off to Mar-a-Lago for yet another round of golf, and perhaps to contemplate nuking North Korea over chocolate cake. He also faces the tightening noose after the bombshell report about campaign aid Carter Page.
The Washington Post reported that the FBI got a FISA warrant to monitor Page last summer as part of an investigation into possible links between Russia and the campaign.
The Page news had come quickly on the heels of the Sean Spicer implosion while attempting to use a Hitler analogy to defend the ineffective airstrikes in Syria.
On Monday, Neil Gorsuch was sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice to complete the GOP theft of this seat. The heist began about a year ago when Senate Majority Leader McConnell and the Republicans refused to even meet with President Obama's nominee. Before they could get to Monday's ceremony, however, McConnell had to use the "Nuclear Option" to get Gorsuch approved. Last Friday, McConnell dropped the Mother of All Bombs in the Senate and killed the filibuster so Gorsuch could be confirmed by a simple majority.
Of all the explosions over the past week, killing the filibuster and confirming Gorsuch is likely to have the greatest impact. This is true both for the way the Senate has historically operated (though the filibuster had been abused for some time), and for the country at large as a relatively very young right-wing ideologue now has a lifetime appointment to the highest court.
To wash away that Nuclear Senate residue and try to forget that the patriotic Republicans have just handed a stolen Supreme Court seat to a corporation-favoring tool, chosen by a puppet of the Russian government, I suggest a Philabuster cocktail via Kindred Cocktails.
1.5 oz rye, Rittenhouse 100
.5 oz Cocchi Americano
.25 oz Cynar
1 dash grapefruit bitters

Demonize and Distract
Quite a day for Trump spokesman Sean Spicer yesterday. While attempting to defend Trump's ill-conceived and ineffective airstrikes in Syria, Spicer (in the way only NPR could describe it) "overlooked the Holocaust."
Saying that Hitler didn't even sink to using chemical weapons in World War II as proof of the need to bomb Syria drew a response from the White House briefing room. As the New York Times reported:
Asked to clarify his remarks, Mr. Spicer then acknowledged that Hitler had used chemical agents, but maintained that there was a difference.
"I think when you come to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing," Mr. Spicer said, incorrectly, before mentioning "Holocaust centers," an apparent reference to Nazi death camps.
This brought about a clamor on social media that threatened to drown out the United Airlines re-accommodated passenger story, and brought calls for Spicer to be fired. Spicey, though, wasn't finished. He went on CNN to apologize for the remarks, but he said he did not want his comments on Hitler to distract from Trump's attempts "to destabilize the region."
It just feels like there's a Freudian slip in here. It is hard to believe the level of stupidity and incompetence we have seen from the Administration, so it is only natural to believe this is part of some master plan of deception and distraction.
The Washington Post story that the FBI obtained a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump adviser Carter Page only fed the idea that Trump needs to distract us from what is seeping out about his campaign's collusion with Russia during the election.
Applying Occam's Razor, however, the more likely explanation is that Spicer simply bungled his Hitler reference (owing to an already apparent tentative grasp on history), which was made in service of justifying a bungled response to Assad's use of chemical weapons by using the well-worn playbook of demonizing your enemy.
The author of that playbook, Lucifer, just kicked back, twirled his mustache, and awaited some new arrivals. As the demonizations continue, the rest of us can kick back with a Satan's Whiskers cocktail to see whether Spicer gets fired, or was just following orders. The recipe via Brad Thomas Parson's Bitters is:
.5 oz gin
.5 oz dry vermouth

The British Columbia Tech Industry is booming with hundreds of both start-ups and large businesses making the province their home, but did you know it's only going to grow?
In January 2016 the B.C. Provincial government created a five-year plan to improve the province's tech sector through the areas of Capital, Talent, and Markets. Capital by improving access to capital and continue to support the province's competitive tax system and research environment. Talent by increasing the talent of technology workers in British Columbia from the ground up in local schools. And Markets by making it easier for smaller tech companies to navigate the markets to ensure they are developing products in the correct markets.
Even though the original B.C. tech strategy plan was developed under a different provincial leadership group, current party leader John Horgan of the B.C. NDP during his campaign actually said that the B.C. tech strategy was on the right track, but was still not doing enough to keep British Columbia ahead of the competition within the tech sector. In the B.C. NDP election platform, Horgan promised to invest $100 million to "expand technology-related post-secondary programs and invest in information and communications, digital media and entertainment, life sciences and health, clean-tech, IT and engineering and more." As well as building technology and innovation centres in key areas of B.C.'s economy. It's clear that even with a change in leadership that technology will always be at the forefront of British Columbia's economy.
So how does a student develop their skills in the B.C. tech industry? Get involved, take classes, and continue to learn everything you can. In today's world, anyone who has a background with some technology knowledge has an advantage over someone who doesn't. In the coming years programming and tech skills will be even more desirable.

What Is a Carbon Footprint? What It Means and How to Reduce Yours
May 27, 2021 September 9, 2021 Emma Watson
Hiroshi watanabeGetty Images
You can't imagine it: Earth has a fever. Droughts, Forest fires, frequent heat waves – if you don't experience them where you are, you certainly see more of them in the news. According to the National Environmental Information Centers, the year 2020 was the second hottest on record after 2016, with seven of the warmest years on Earth after 2014.
The increase in global average temperature is caused by the increase in greenhouse gas in the earth's atmosphere. "The atmosphere allows energy from the sun to pass through, but greenhouse gases absorb and trap the energy that the Earth would normally emit into space, resulting in more energy and higher temperatures, "explains Benjamin Cook, climatologist, author of Drought: an interdisciplinary perspective and Research Associate Professor at the Earth Institute at Columbia University.
The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is considered the "biggest button on Earth's thermostat," says Cook, which is why the concept of "carbon footprint" has become increasingly important in conversations. on global warming and climate change.
1 What does "carbon footprint" mean?
2 What effect does our carbon footprint have on the environment?
3 What are some examples of my personal carbon footprint?
4 How can I calculate my carbon footprint?
5 Can I reduce my carbon footprint?
What does "carbon footprint" mean?
Our the carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon we all emit collectively due to all human activities. Currently, the world produces carbon emissions equivalent to about nine gigatonnes (billion tonnes) of carbon dioxide each year. About half of these emissions are absorbed by the oceans and Earth's biosphere, leaving about four gigatonnes of excess carbon dioxide to accumulate in the atmosphere.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States produced approximately 6.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2019. the global average personal carbon footprint is around six tonnes of carbon dioxide per person per year, the United States is the third highest in the world with around 20 tonnes of carbon dioxide per person per year, behind Australia and Saudi Arabia, according to UC Berkeley climate science research.
The biggest contributors to carbon dioxide emission in the United States are:
Transport: 29%
Electricity production: 25%
Industrial activities: 23%
Commercial and residential heating: 13%
Agriculture: ten%
What effect does our carbon footprint have on the environment?
The warming trend of the Earth has triggered a cascade of climatic events that include:
Drier soils: Global warming is not uniform across the planet due to differences in the thermal capacities of land and water. Land surfaces heat up faster than water surfaces and, as a result, soils are drier than usual. This affects the growth of vegetation and also makes forest fires easier to spread according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA.
Warming ocean temperatures: Although the ocean can hold more heat below its surfaces than the land can, it eventually reaches the surface and causes high ocean surface temperature anomalies. Among other effects, warming sea temperatures are detrimental to fish species and can cause coral reefs to bleach.
Ocean acidification: As we pump more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the oceans absorb this excess, making them more acidic. This has direct consequences on the health of all marine species but in particular for coral reefs, which cannot build their skeleton, as well as for clams, mussels and marine plankton, whose protective shells cannot stand apart. form under acidic conditions.
Loss of ice reserves and sea level rise: Called polar amplification, the warming trend is uneven between different latitudes. Northern latitudes and the North Pole are warming faster than the rest of the world, leading to a decrease in the duration of snow cover on land, as well as volumes of arctic sea ice and mountain glaciers. Melting ice reserves coupled with thermal expansion of the upper ocean due to warming has resulted in continued sea level rise, according to NASA. The current sea level is about 7 to 8 inches higher than that of 1900, with the last three inches of elevation occurring since 1993. This trend increases the risk of coastal areas flooding during extreme weather conditions and can cause permanent changes to our coasts, disrupting settlements and causing economic loss.
Currently, we are about 1.1 ° C above pre-industrial temperature levels and are likely to exceed the 1.5 ° C limit that was set as a target in the Paris Climate Agreement. This international treaty on climate change, adopted in 2015 by 196 countries, was the first binding agreement to bring all nations together to fight climate change. Each country is expected to commit to achieving ambitious national targets to reduce greenhouse gases and to collaborate internationally to build resilience to adapt to rising temperatures.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), around half of carbon dioxide emission over the past 150 years have taken place over the past 40 years. "Depending on the course we take over the next century, we'll probably end up with 2-4 degrees of warming by 2100," adds Cook. Translation: We need to accelerate our transition to renewable energy sources even faster than what is proposed based on the 1.5 ° C target.
While carbon emissions 2020 fell by around 10% due to the economic slowdown associated with the pandemic, it has hardly affected the build-up of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide does not dissipate or break down and stays in place for hundreds of years. This means that even if we could somehow stop all of our carbon emissions today, it would take more than a decade to reverse warming trend in which we are.
What are some examples of my personal carbon footprint?
First, let's talk about the concept of a "personal carbon footprint" – the idea was popularized as part of a greenwashing campaign by oil companies, according to Cook. "This was a strategy to shift responsibility to individuals, rather than addressing the systemic nature of our global dependence on fossil fuels," says Cook. He advises against focusing solely on your personal carbon footprint, as tackling climate change requires "global and systemic change in our energy systems, which is unlikely to happen through individual action alone."
That said, from the electricity you use at home to the type of meal you put on the table, it's true that everyone contributes to the total carbon production in the world. However, your individual carbon footprint is largely predetermined. Here are the factors that matter most:
Where in the world you live (in particular, which country and its energy sources and policies)
Your socio-economic conditions (more purchasing power means more products produced and energy consumed)
How energy intensive is your lifestyle is (think access to heating, hot water and air conditioning)
How can I calculate my carbon footprint?
Carbon footprint calculators can help you better understand your individual contribution to the global carbon footprint. They typically take into account your impacts related to domestic energy consumption, transport, waste production and your diet (meat or plant-based). Expect to enter data such as your postcode, the number of people living in your household, and the type of dwelling (single-family home or apartment building) in which you reside.
Some carbon footprint calculators are more elaborate, like the EPA calculator which requires much more detailed data, such as the type of fuel source used to heat your home, the price of your electric bill, the number of vehicles you own and the number of kilometers you drive. as well as the amount recycled in your household. While these calculators only reveal approximations of your carbon footprint, they can help you identify individual impacts.
Can I reduce my carbon footprint?
Tackling global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions requires a dramatic shift from the use of fossil fuels to zero-carbon energy sources, and every country needs policies to encourage this transition. Perhaps one of the most effective things people can do is organize and pressure their governments to act quickly.
Additionally, we can all make sustainable lifestyle choices to help achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, which scientists believe is necessary to bring global warming closer to the 1.5 limit. ° C set by the Paris Climate Agreement. . Here is some examples of reducing your carbon footprint, all with varying degrees of impact:
Limit your family size (the largest)
Living without a car (top)
Switch to a plant-based diet (high)
Recycling (moderate)
Bulbs upgrade (low)

Bully Bosses Beware: Are Your Employees Too Afraid?
Paul Hellman
Published 11:44 AM ET Thu, 1 Dec 2011 CNBC.com
Scenario #1: Sweat
Hans Neleman | Getty Images
The CEO of your company summons you to her office. "Is this a high performance organization?" she asks.
You start to sweat.
It's a tough question, despite being strongly recommended by a CEO in a recent newspaper interview.
Apart from scaring people, the question is flawed by its yes-no form. It will yield little info.
You wonder what the CEO's really looking for. Maybe she's implying this could be a high-performing organization—if only it weren't for you.
How to answer???
"Yes!" you say, going with enthusiasm, while ignoring the fact that many of the company's products don't work, smell bad, and appear to be mildly carcinogenic.
Wrong answer. The CEO, it turns out, was looking for honesty.
Scenario #2: No sweat.
The other day I heard about a newly hired, 20-something-year-old at a large insurance company who, during her first week, did something fearless.
She called up the CEO and asked if she could stop by. Said she wanted to get a feel for the company, and where it was going.
Intrigued, the CEO said yes.
But her supervisor didn't know about the meeting till later. He was furious. "I've been at this company for over 10 years," he said. "I've never even met the CEO."
You could argue that the new hire was naive, that she learned an important lesson about org. politics and the chain of command, and that she'll never do anything like this again.
Fine, but what's the cost to the organization?
The cost is fear.
Years ago, consultant Tom Peters popularized "management by walking around." He urged managers to get out of the office, ask questions, and find out what's really going on.
Great advice, except for one thing: Most people, unlike that new hire, are reluctant to speak truth to power.
Tip: Don't underestimate fear.
Before you ask a tough question, lessen the fear. Disclose something personal, disclose a vulnerability, or, at the very least—this is key—disclose why you're asking.

C-130 News: Reserve C-130 aerial firefighting teams fly during second busiest wildfire season
PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) --
The 302nd Airlift Wing has three C-130 Hercules aircraft flying sorties out of McClellan Air Tanker Base this year in Sacramento County, California, performing an aerial firefighting mission unique within the Air Force Reserve.
Since first being activated July 20, the 302 AW has been working together with other military aircraft from Nevada Air National Guard's 152nd AW, Wyoming ANG's 153rd AW, and California ANG's 146th AW to drop millions of gallons of fire retardant in support of fire suppression efforts in California.
On Aug. 25, all eight C-130 aerial firefighting aircraft were activated for the first time since 2012. The aircraft are equipped with a U.S. Forest Service Modular Airborne Firefighting System unit loaded in the cargo bay without requiring any structural modifications to the airframe, enabling crews to drop up to 3,000 gallons of fire retardant in less than 5 seconds over a quarter mile stretch of land.
As of Sept. 12, the combined effort of these units has resulted in the delivery of 23 million pounds of fire retardant through 925 drops over a variety of fires since ANG assistance was first requested June 26. This has been the second highest producing season in the 48-year history of MAFFS. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CAL FIRE, the host unit at McClellan ATB, also broke personal records this year by mixing and delivering 6.5 million gallons of fire retardant supporting military and civilian aerial firefighting aircraft alike.
"Everything we do is to support the work accomplished by the crews on the ground," said Lt. Col. Brad Ross, 302nd Operations Group commander. "With a few rare exceptions, the retardant drops cannot put out a fire on their own, but slow the fire and reinforce lines laid by the firefighters providing a better opportunity to contain the fire."
Ross said firefighting efforts have been focused on the Dixie, Caldor, Antelope, River Complex, Monument, French and several other smaller fires. Each fire presents its own unique challenge, whether it's variations in terrain, problems with visibility, or ensuring separation from other aircraft on larger fires. Even though there are well-established procedures preparing crews for these challenges, that doesn't mean it's easy.
"Flying MAFFS is the most tactical, challenging flying that we do outside of deployed combat zones," said Master Sgt. Michael Davenport, 731st Airlift Squadron loadmaster. "Low-level flying in the mountains over ridges and through valleys for retardant drops 150-200 feet above ground level while considering weather and fire conditions requires the best, most experienced aircrews a squadron has to offer."
Davenport said the most important part of MAFFS is maintaining situational awareness. Each crew member needs to be aware of everything happening around them while flying to and from fires. Everyone is listening to radio calls, watching airspeeds and altitudes, monitoring aircraft and MAFFS systems while communicating with one another every step of the way. Situational awareness and warding off tunnel vision is vital for flying in general, but significantly more important when flying over wildfires.
The number of drops on any given day depends on a wide variety of factors. During calm days with no breeze it's possible for smoke to linger and greatly impact visibility during flight, limiting the ability of crews to drop. They also don't fly before sunrise or after sunset because it adds another layer of risk to an already challenging mission. But, when conditions are right, it's possible for one crew to perform 15 drops in a single day.
Everybody needs to be ready to go within minutes in case a launch order is called for, and crews are often on standby until sunset. Each drop involves a coordinated effort between aircrew, maintenance teams, CAL FIRE ground crew and the U.S. Forest Service to ensure the process goes as smoothly and safely as possible, from the moment the aircraft starts to the moment the fire retardant is discharged.
"All of us take a tremendous amount of pride from being a part of flying the MAFFS mission," Davenport said. "Every year we see firsthand what kind of destruction wildfires can cause, so it's an honor to be part of a larger effort to stop them and keep people safe."
At one point during the season, all eight military aircraft were airborne at the same time working together to fight the Dixie fire on its eastern and western zones. Ross said it can be challenging maneuvering that many aircraft at once during the loading pits when they come down to refill their MAFFS tanks.
"The time commitments from our maintenance and operations personnel on scene are significant," Ross said. "Our stated mission is to supply two planes and crews, but now we're providing three and doing so very successfully. Our C-130s have retained a remarkable mission capable rate due to the hard work and dedication from the 302nd Maintenance Group, and getting large amounts of people and equipment out to support the operation doesn't come together without the help of nearly every unit in the 302nd Mission Support Group."
Ross said the amount of drops happening wouldn't be possible without the extensive efforts of the 302nd MXG team committed to keeping the aircraft flying. Of the three aircraft the 302nd AW has supplied to the firefighting efforts, only one has been down so far due to maintenance issues which were resolved quickly. Another aircraft was down for a major inspection that takes a week during normal operations, but the team finished in just four days. Maintainers have been providing a 100% aircraft commitment rate for two months, which is unheard of according to Ross.
Lt. Col. Richard Pantusa, 302nd AW aerial firefighting chief, said crews flying C-130s work alongside other aircraft such as federally-activated large and very large air tankers, Air Force RC-26 infrared imaging platforms, helicopters, aerial supervision and water scooper aircraft. They also work together with California State S-2 trackers and OV-10 broncos, helicopters and various other manned and unmanned planes. Aircraft from as far as Australia have been joining the fire suppression efforts this year.
"It required careful coordination between wing leadership, our partner wings in the ANG, and the National Interagency Fire Center, to ensure that we were able to support the requirements of the firefighting effort this year," Pantusa said. "Our MAFFS team never ceases to amaze me, with many of our operations, maintenance, and logistics folks jumping-in with overwhelming motivation to do this mission well."
Only experienced aircrew are eligible to become qualified to perform the dangerous aerial firefighting mission, said Pantusa. They're selected from within the 731st AS aircrews and require several years of flying experience in a variety of deployed and domestic operations prior to meeting the initial MAFFS qualification threshold. Once they meet the requirement, they're trained during an annual training event hosted by the U.S. Forest Service. All MAFFS-certified crews attend this training every year.
The 302nd AW has 10 MAFFS-certified crews prepared to support the mission with three currently flying, swapped out weekly.
In the 1970s, Congress established the MAFFS Program to aid the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Typically, when all other civilian air tankers are activated but further assistance is needed, the U.S. Forest Service, through the National Interagency Fire Center, can request the aid of the U.S. Air Force's MAFFS flying units.
MAFFS is a mission that highlights interagency cooperation. The 302nd AW works in concert with NIFC and the U.S. Forest Service. NIFC serves as a focal point for coordinating the national mobilization of resources for wildland fire. When it is determined MAFFS will be utilized, NIFC through U.S. Northern Command requests Air Force resources.
Pantusa said conditions for wildfires in 2021 are at elevated levels over large portions of the Western United States, and all types of resources have been activated to support the national effort.
The military aerial firefighting efforts are expected to continue through to the end of October.
