  • Here's a bit of wildfire fighting action, featuring two Bell 212 medium lift helicopters picking up water off of Kootenay Lake to fight a forest fire in the area.
    The two helicopters filmed are:
    Wildcat Helicopters Bell 212 C-FOHK equipped with a belly tank.
    Hydra Helicopters Bell 212 C-FNPG with the Eagle Single conversion, seen swooping in and picking up water with a long line and Bambi bucket.

    Jesse, very nice to catch a Bell in action, hate to know there may be a fire, could just be a drill exercise, anyway, nice job my good friend

      Noooo, not a drill exercise. Lots of fires here in British Columbia during the Summer.

      Thanks very much Steve! It's always fun to see these wildfire fighting helicopters in action, though it usually means that we're getting some bad fires in the area. We got pretty lucky this summer though, and didn't have anything too bad in the area. Summer 2017 and 2018 were horrible though, so much smoke!

    They should use helicopters and planes for ambulance and fire fighters because it’s a lot more safer and a lot more quicker as well because every time I see firetrucks in emergencies they always have problems want to try to get through the roads and highways there’s lots of cars lots of people don’t get in the hospital in time or get to the fire that is burning in time
