An Aerial Firefighter is a specialized aircraft used to combat wildfires from the air. These planes or helicopters drop water or fire retardant chemicals directly onto burning areas, helping to control and extinguish flames. They are often deployed in remote or difficult-to-access locations where ground crews may struggle to reach. Aerial firefighting plays a crucial role in wildfire management, especially during peak fire seasons. The aircraft can quickly cover large areas, providing immediate support to ground firefighters. This method enhances overall firefighting efforts, reducing the spread of fires and protecting both natural resources and communities.
