We'll take a look at how air power, specifically air tankers that suck water from Lakes in just a Couple of seconds using scoopers to fight fire from the sky.
Cal Fire operates its own fleet of aircraft, stationed at 14 airfields and 11 helicopter bases across the state.
This setup allows most aircraft to reach fires within about 20 minutes, as long as there aren’t heavy Breeze like the Santa Ana Winds.
The fleet includes tactical "O"V-10s, Broncos which often serve as lead aircraft, directing the coordinated efforts of the team.
All of the aircraft work together, often making multiple flights each day to combat fires. Their goal?
To precisely guide and support larger assets like the Super Scooper and the Boeing Seven Four Seven Super Tanker in dropping water or fire retardant, often sourced from nearby water bodies.
Cal Fire also relies on its iconic Bell Huey helicopters, made famous during the Vietnam War.
These versatile helicopters can pick up water from nearly any source using their attached buckets, making them invaluable for fighting wildfires in even the most remote areas.
What Is the Retardant Used to Fight Fires?
In battling the fires in Los Angeles, aerial operations have primarily involved aircraft collecting seawater from the Pacific Ocean.
However, bright pink and red retardants have also been utilized to coat flames on the ground.
Even after the water evaporates, the fertilizer remains on the ground, forming a visible red stripe that can persist for days or even weeks, providing a continued barrier against fire spread.
