When the terrain says “no way,” we bring the fight from the air.
Our aerial hose deployers ensure rapid line setup in the toughest environments, because wildfires don’t wait, and neither do we.

Helicopter hovering over sparkling lake water, kicking up a lot of water spray as it uses hose to gather up water to fight a wildfire. Forested hills behind.
When lightning strikes cause wildfires, and aerial firefighting begins!
This Skycrane has a snorkel system to hover over lakes, suck up tons of water, fly back and waterbomb on wildfires.
Very cool sight.
(Phone photo, btw.)
Thank you, firefighters!
