4.4K views · 95 reactions | In general we classify the helicopters used for wildfire fighting into three main categories: light, medium and heavy-lift. The size and specifications of a helicopter determine the type of tasks it may be assigned. Our medium-lift, or type two, helicopters are large enough to transport a crew of ten people and are often equipped with belly tanks.

56K views · 1.5K reactions | The clearing smoke allowed the BC Wildfire Service to use the Alberta skimmer group on a number of fires in the Southeast Fire Centre, including the Akokli Creek fire (N71686). Skimmers are able to “skim” water from lakes and rivers and are capable of skimming over 3,000 litres of water in 15 seconds.
