What is so special about the Bombardier 415?
It is the only aircraft designed and built specifically for fire fighting. It can scoop up to 6137 litres (1621 US Gal.) of water from a nearby water source, mix it with foam suppressant if desired and drop it on a fire without having to return to base to refill its tanks. The Bombardier 415 was specifically developed to provide the capability to deliver massive quantities of suppressant to a fire in its initial stages, preventing it from getting out of control.
