There’s a fire burning about 40 miles from here. The news said that fire retardant would be dropped on it. The text on the image said ‘An airship will drop fire retardant.’
That would be something to see, eh? A zeppelin flying over a forest fire, dropping fire retardant! But how would it deal with the rising air currents?
(Of course, the probably meant ‘aircraft’, not ‘airship’. But it made for a nice mental image. 
)
Also, how would they position it directly over the fire? They’re not that maneuverable in higher winds are they? With other aircraft? Would it be a lead zeppelin?
There are no reported large fires burning in Washington State near your location. That means no federal assets so no large fire support, including air support. If the fire is state-managed, any air support will be small aircraft, probably single-engine.
Airships (in the traditional sense of the word) are not used for fire-fighting in the US.
Yes, I know that airships are not used for firefighting. That’s why I found it funny. 
The fire is near Mount Vernon.
I suspect that the ‘airship’ is a Huey with a bucket.
Looking at the photo, only a helicopter could get in and do it. Might not be a Huey. There are several types of choppers that could do it. A chopper with a bucket requires nearby ground support. One of these doesn’t as long as there is a nearby water supply available.
Hopefully the airship is not filled with hydrogen…
