What’s the dumbest thing you’ve seen on a fire?  

I'll start:

few years ago I was copilot in hawk and saw a 61 come out of the dip with bucket and proceed to smash every single tree on the way out. At the end it looked like you shot the bucket with 100 rounds of buckshot with all the punctures they put in it. Skill level was very high obviously. What's even better is they continued flying the cycle and on the 15 min out and back they probably lost 3/4 of the water. About 1/2 way thru A/A told them to go back. Was quite the sight for me being just a sandbag.
