The smaller helicopters, Aerospatiele AS350B3 Squirrels, hold a bit about 1100L in their tanks. There were 3 of them on the scene at the time. The big sucker is a Sikorsky S61 and holds 4000L, this beast is truly impressive to watch.
Send some rain over here!! The cloudless skies may be great for astronomy (pity about that full moon at the moment though
) but we sure could use some wet stuff.
