Interesting post from Wildpilot above. If there is anyone who could assist in the UK's midlands with the current Saddleworth Moor fires, then I reckon they will be treated like heroe by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. Who has aerial crop dusting gear which cold be brought into service?
Helicopters with Bambi Buckets have already been used on that fire. There are a number of operators in the UK with fire-bucket capability who would be able to assist the Fire Service / Land Owner with this fire if someone is prepared to pay for it. And therein lies the sticking point I imagine.
