The crew flew a total of 1.5 hours in support of the mission effectively fighting the fire away from the Naval Magazine and the nearby residential area. <\/p>\n<p>The wildfire was contained at approximately 7:10 p.m. with 20 bucket loads dropped on the forward advance of the fire totaling 8,400 gallons of water. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe at HSC-25 are always glad to support Guam,\u201d said Lt.
