Lightbulb Forest fires

Ol?, G'day,

The family and me drove inland yesterday to check out the reservoir at "Castelo de Bode" close to "Abrantes" in central Portugal.
We stopped on the dam and noticed a lot of smoke to the east of us. We also spotted aircraft flying over to dump water on the fire.
We continued further on to a place called "Aldeia do Mato" where we could swim and discovered that the planes were filling up there and flying right over us.
There were two aircraft, one jet plane and the twin prop that I captured on my little JVC..Please excuse the quality.

Damn it, I can't put it up cos it's 70Mb and I don't know how to reduce it.

Any way to do it?
