Cool video but I hope you know you could get yourself into a lot trouble flying around fires of any kind.

I know you're not supposed to interfere with First Responders so I left soon as I heard the fire trucks on the way.

In the upper left corner, you can see a shadow of a helicopter passing at the 7-minute mark.

Yup good eye. That could have been a big deal.

Yes good eye!
That helicopter flew through pretty low at about 1500 feet. I believe they saw the smoke and flew by for a closer look. I was returning home at 200 feet at that time.

At 200-ft you are well below your ceiling of 400-ft but, best to skedaddle out of there anyway! That is some pretty great footage none-the-less.
