water bomber

A water bomber, also known as an aerial firefighting aircraft, is a specialized plane or helicopter designed to combat wildfires. It soars over fire-affected areas and releases large quantities of water or fire retardant to slow or extinguish flames. These aircraft are essential for reaching remote or hard-to-access fires, providing rapid response and helping control large or spreading wildfires. They work alongside ground crews to protect communities, natural resources, and ecosystems, making them a vital tool in firefighting efforts.
