how many liters can load an EC135, i.e. MSL?
At SL, with pilot and 2,5 h of fuel, more or less 800 l.

You are right, I have not considered the Parapublic forces (NH500, Bell from Army and sometimes AB412 from firebrigade) but the number it's very few and basically the firefighting servirce is prformed by civil operators.
I forgot also the Lamas!!
