I had to do an airport run last night and they had a couple of the big forest fighter copters on the tarmac. The helicopters come from Helicopter Transport Service. They can load 2,400 gallons of water or foam in 45 seconds. The Helitanker can hover and maneuver in tight areas, putting every load where it's needed most. Nothing in forest firefighting compares to the Sikorsky CH54B Helitanker.
