Increased fire activity in the Western United States has prompted the U.S. Forest Service to call two additional Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System-equipped C-130s to resume operations by Aug. 14, 2012. Those aircraft will come from the Wyoming Air National Guard's 153rd Airlift Wing, in Cheyenne, Wyo.
