Ground effect

OK guys, since I can see Nick is back with us and Lu might be pretty soon I would like the gurus to enlight us about this matter.
I've read all thetheory and previous discussions but one thing I would like to know is if there are different values for G.E. depending on tipe of rotors, I mean if it's the same for a single main rotor ( 212 and so on ) two intermeshing rotors tilted in some angle ( KMAX ) or horizontally suited ( CHINOOK ) or one on top of the other ( KAMOV ), or even in downwash values, how does that affect?
My curiosity comes out to understand the effect of such rotor distribution on fire fighting jobs.
Ready to learn as much as posible.
Buen vuelo
