As I headed out of our garage on Thursday afternoon at around 5:20, two very low flying Super Scooper airplanes went by directly overhead. It seems that a car accident set off a small brush fire (at Crenshaw near Silver Spur) that was put out very quickly by helicopters and these airplanes which made two water drops.I took the photo from an empty lot at corner of across from PV Art Center on Crenshaw Blvd, where a group of people gathered and cheered on the firefighters.

What an amazing yet frightening sight to see. I can imagine that someone looking out their window might think that plane was about to crash. Just super!
Amazing photo ! Your vantage point was perfection.
Great action news shot! Sorry about the fires...
Great action shot, hope the fires are under control...
Oh, what a cool shot! That fire was just up the hill from our school.

Cool shot!
wonderful shot, those guys did a wonderful job and I saw them as they flew over our house to race to the ocean for more water...great pilots!
Wow, great capture! You were obviously at the right place at the right time.
I agree with Antjas. At first I thought that was an ill-fated aircraft. Thanks for the explanation, and heart-stopping photo.
Fantastic photo and thankfully they got that fire out before it grew and spread. Wow.
Nice shot!!!
It always amazes me that the pilots can keep control of the planes when the take on such a heavy load. That's an amazing shot. - Margy

After all you have gone through out there, I'm sure even the smallest brush fire was disconcerting!

That's low...
They did a great job, no wonder there was cheering! It could have been a whole lot worse.
Excellent photo! We think of all in danger in southern California every day.
