As a pilot in a similar position and with an interest in the same area I have to agree that fire fighting is out of the question. Most of the fire fighting that I have seen in the Ionian islands tends to be done with fixed wing, crop dusters for small fires and big water bombers for the extensive fires. You need loads of hours and experience for fire fighting as alluded to earlier in the thread.
The Greek authorities are reluctant to encourage single engine operation due to the amount of time you spend over the water. This makes the costs prohibitive for tourist business.
Feel free to PM me as I have looked into this in some detail already.
Martin.
