True, but that costs money, as do sprinklers and fire retardent paneling. I was just wondering if the existing paid for resource - winch and flir equipped S92s on 24hr standby could be used for this sort of job. Land on a field, pick up a team and winch down or flir spotting. It has probably all been considered and ruled out, but maybe not and it would cost little extra.
