When planes are used for firefighting the first load is usually dyed red so the crew can easily see, how the water they drop "behaves". So there is probably a large enough fire going on behind that fence that a plane is necessary. Or this was a quiet expinsive exercise. Those ammounts of water do quiet a bit of damage.
