What happened to lake tahoe? It got moved to California to save someones house. just one house though. Idk where all the fish went tho... Hmmmm seriously I wonder how many fish have lost their lives being scooped into a tanker and droped on a fire.

I've heard of one incident where a snorkeler was actually accidentally scooped up by a fire-fighting chopper and dropped on a fire.

old news and thats pretty much impossible

A snorkler droped on a fire.... from a helicopter. AFAIK all helicopters refill their tanks with a drop line into the water while the slowly make a circle over the water, a helicopter cant hover in one spot too long so its the safest way.
