N42CU has been making water drops for a few hours now right next to a historic testing site known for hazardous material. It burned in 2018 but may still be dangerous.
From Calfire’s recent perimeter update of the Sandy Fire, the SSFL is around 3000 feet from the active burn line. How serious of a threat is this with the hazardous materials and soil in that area?
Update 8:45pm: Tracking the Coulson Aviation Chinook ADS-B data it looks like they are dropping water right next to the site
