Our DC-10's drop up to 9,400 gal of Phos-Chek in a single pass- covering up to 1 mile. With a reload time of ~12–15 min at supported bases and high volume + fast turnarounds, we're built for large-scale wildfire support across North America and beyond. 📸: Chris Kunkle

From #IWA to #MWH — we’re always #ReadyToServe. Earlier this week, two of our DC-10s were on call in Phoenix. Today, two are standing by in Moses Lake. Wherever the need arises, 10 Tanker is proud to support and serve. 📸: Nicholas Fish #WildfireResponse #WildfireReady
🔥Fun Fact: The DC-10-30 air tanker doesn’t fly solo! A smaller lead plane guides it to the drop zone—flying the path first to ensure a safe, accurate release of 9,400+ gallons of fire retardant. 🛩️➡️✈️ #AerialFirefighting #DC10Tanker #LeadPlane 📽️:Hunter Robinson - Bonanza Fire
