Rescue work on tall buildings that are fully enveloped by fire presents a huge obstacle in the form of smoke, heat, flame, and FOD.....not to mention world class turbulence.


Erickson has developed a fire cannon for the S-64 that would be of some value perhaps.


Belly tanked aircraft have proven to be very useful in knocking down urban brush fires.
