    I'm pretty sure those fire crews get out of the place they were at because they know the Helicopter is coming and that water will not just knock down the flames but anyone under the drop area. Good job.

      no way, it would feel like a light summer sprinkle at worst, a soft, delicate mist even

      @@thvtsydneylyf3th077 how? Some people underestimate the force of water. Those large planes that you see dropping the fire retarndunt or whatever that shit is called with the pink goo can and has been proven to be able to crush cars even with only a tiny bit. I believe that was water during the experiment where they dropped a bunch of the water from a plane onto a car and these helicopters can carry immense amounts let alone when so much is concentrated into a small area. It could potentially knock them over and although the chance may be some what low, it could still def happen.

      @@thvtsydneylyf3th077 same thing with that car video yet it still gets crushed. Now imagine both stuff being the amount of water and whatever is under all that being downscaled. Both are getting downscaled so it shouldnt make much of a difference. Also its still a chance, obviously not saying its guaranteed to happen.

    Give a medal to the dudes in the Sikorsky air tanker. Magnificent! Curious what the lead on that ground crew knew as far as the position of the fire just below them. If he had the view we have in the video would he have gone downhill instead of up? I see their safe zone with their trucks. Just fascinating to watch people make these critical decisions in real life threatening situations.

    The people that fly fire aircraft are as brave as they are skilled every now and again one goes down but they know the risk and keep doing it. In my area they save communities from burning down these are the good people

    Could've forest fire helicopters like these worked on putting out the 9/11 fires?
    That I would love to also know.
    Just a major curiosity. 🤔 😢

      No. the fires were inside the building and jet fuel was burning. But also, if they had been available can't imagine it could have been worse to try.
