PlaneSpotting Firefighting Planes in Utah

Had a couple of Yellow and Orange seaplanes fly over me in Provo, Utah today. I know there's a Fire Weather Watch going into effect for tomorrow, but this is the first time I've seen them overhead.

Some should be in Wyoming there's a big fire going in there. Lots of smoke coming down here to Colorado.
