L.A. County Fire Chief Osby, and representatives from Quebec, met with the media Friday to announce the official arrival of two CL-415 SuperScoopers fire-fighting aircraft and an Erickson Aircrane Type I Helitanker leased from the government of Quebec for Los Angeles County’s fire season.
The 90-day contract, which can be extended, is for two SuperScoopers, fixed-wing aircraft that can carry up to 1,620 gallons of water; take only 12 seconds to scoop water from a lake; can be airborne in as little as five minutes; and can fly three hours before refueling; and the Erickson Aircrane Type I Helitanker capable of delivering 2,200 gallons per drop.
