As the Fire engines approached the Forest, they could see clouds of thick black smoke choking the beauty of the landscape. The Fire Fighters knew they didn't have the right equipment to fight such a fire, especally after it has been a dry few weeks, suprisingly dry for Wales.

The job of the fire fighters was to try and contain the fire as best as they can, they did also have back up from the Territorial Army, with their out of date Green Goddess Fire Engine

The Fire fighters arrived at the scene of the fire, they were all sweating from the heat, the fire already raging out of control, many wildlife was threaterned by this blaze.

The Firefighers and the TA both knew they didnt stand a chance to putting out this fire or of even controling it, all they could do was damp the ground around it and try and fight the flames back a bit in hope that it wouldn't be able to spread.

Red Wales is asking anyone in the international Community if they can spare any help before this fire deverstates a forest with a rich derversity of wildlife.

Admiral Michaels was called, and given a rather odd assignment. He was to put out a forest fire. As the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Pacific Northwesteria, the Admiral also had command over the Air Force. He sent the following telegram to the leader of Red Wales:
Re: Forest fire
From: Adm. Michaels, Chmn, NPJC
To: Red Wales
With your permission, 45 B-2s full of water will make a pass over the edge of the fire, drop their payloads (about 820 metric tons of water) In a concentrated area along the edge of the fire, where it hasn't quite taken a firm hold yet. They will repeat this as necessary until the fire is under control. Awaiting your "go".

Fleet Admiral Winters was standing on the bridge of the UVS Izvestia, an Elessar class aircraft carrier, when orders arrived directing him to offer any aerial assistance to combat fires to Red Wales. Winters then walked to a communications node and sent the following message over an open frequency.

[code:1:b0efafd899]To whom it may concern:
The [i]UVS Izvestia[/i], a Veritasean aircraft carrier, will be available for any firefighting operations, should your government request its assistance. We await your response.

-Fleet Admiral Winters
CO of [i]Izvestia[/i][/code:1:b0efafd899]

The Goverment of Red Wales is greatfull for the offer of help by other nations and would welcome their assitance in putting out the massive fire

We could hit thing with our special oxygen depreviation bombs. It uses up all oxygen in an area for a short period to starve fires of oxygen.

If you would find it helpful we can sent four eight-men teams each carrying a battle sized 4th caliber laser cannon to create firebreaks in order to contain the fire.

The planes came swooped in, in a linear formation, and dropped their water at fairly low altitude. The Red Wales firefighters on the ground, having been warned to get out of the way, were amazed to see the fire recede by fifty meters practically in an instant. The ground was charred, steaming, and very very wet. This was the situation all along the edge of the fire. There was no way that the forestfire would be able to jump this scorched barrier and reignite the areas beyond. As the bombers flew back to base to reload with more water, the firefighters on the ground were able to move in, and began making some hard-fought headway on the blaze.

((OOC: Sorry about the delayed reply, have been busy with exams, sorry))

The Red Wales firefighters moved away for the assitance from the other nations, many where very demoralised thast they didnt have the equipment to deal with such a sitution, some of which had decided to leave the fire altogether.

The ones that remained attempted to tackle the fire from as far awell as possible, so when the planes came back they could make a hasty retreat to safety.

OOC: wow, sorry about the kajillion posts.
IC: Admiral Michaels handed over to Red Wales command of the water drops. No longer would the firefighters on the ground have to be in fear of an approaching airdrop. Whenever they needed it, they could order a drop where they needed it. Pacific Northwesteria would only take back command if an emergency came up that required the use of the bombers for a more destructive task.
