April 24, 2018 | 5:36

As temperatures heated up this week in northern California, aerial firefighters from four C-130 airlift wings operating the U.S.D.A. Forest Service’s Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) started a weeklong training here today in anticipation of summer blazes.
The year’s training, sponsored by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service at McClellan Reload Base in Sacramento, includes four military airlift wings that make up the Air Expeditionary Group: three Air National Guard units from California, Nevada and Wyoming, and one U.S. Air Force Reserve unit from Colorado.
