Heli-Hydrant Training of CAL Fire FIREHAWK Helicopter at Yorba Linda Water District

The greatest innovation in fighting wildland fires is the patented Heli-Hydrant. This new technology is a fire hydrant for helicopters, and is permanent fixture of a public water system. It is ready to fight wildland fires 24/7/365. Smart water districts install Heli-Hydrants wherever there are wildland areas nearby. Fire-fighting helicopters remotely trigger the Heli-Hydrant to fill in minutes, then hover over the Heli-Hydrant and drop a snorkel into clean water and fill their tank in 3 minutes. Then the helicopter can quickly drop water on the fire and refill as often as needed with no delay.
Multiple helicopters (of all sizes) can fill one after the other as the Heli-Hydrant fills as fast as the helicopters can withdraw the water. This innovative technology has already saved many homes, lives, and wildland areas, preventing small fires from turning into large ones.
Anyone that lives in a community that borders wildland areas should insist their public water system install Heli-Hydrants like the ones in Yorba Linda to protect the community.
