I did a little research into this, and from what I understand the state of California did have an on-call contract with this company. I was wondering why we are not seeing it used in these fires. I noticed the states DC10 is being used. Also, what happened to the C130’s converted to fight fires? Were they strapped after the accident in 2002? Are large tankers the answer?
Here is a link to the company’s video:
