Wildfire season approaches and we have been tasked with re-supplying and providing training some airports with resources for the months ahead. Commencing in Vancouver we need to visit 7 out stations.
Both British Columbia and Alberta rely heavily on aerial firefighting to manage and suppress wildfires, especially in remote or hard-to-reach areas. These operations are critical during the first attack on a fire and for supporting ground crews when fires grow larger.
