(OT) Sad, and ironic as well.

Tells of a story about an airplane crash at the Reno/Stead, Nevada
airport. It was a plane used to fight fires and crashed right after take
off, on it's way to a fire south of Lake Tahoe. (Hope Valley!)

While it was filled with fire retardant, it was also filled with fuel.

The fuel won.

"The plane went down about a half-mile from the airport and burst into
flame, Reno fire spokesman Steve Frady said."

It also took three lives.
