About 30 USAF reservists, from Colorado, headed to Texas on April 16.  They will be using their C-130 Hercules transports to drop fire retardant on the Coahuila fire in Mexico.   That fire is the largest fire in Mexico’s history, as of April 16 it was within 96.5km (60 miles) of the Texas border.

The USAF is also using C-130s to fight the largest fires in Texas’ history as well.
