Sapphire, California – A video has emerged showing a helicopter flying through thick smoke to drop water over the Sapphire Fire.

CAL FIRE BDU reports that the fire has grown to 10 acres, but it is now 75% contained after aggressive efforts.

Both air and ground resources worked tirelessly this afternoon to control the blaze, despite the strong winds making the task more difficult.
