Gordy thank you. 200 helicopters is incredible
My company has a Bell 212......not 200 + helicopters. On fires I would guess between 200 and 300 total each year.

We just came back fro the "Panther" fire in Northern California and it had 13 helicopters working it and 1,800 firefighters for just under 7,000 acres.
