What is Aerial Firefighting?
Aerial firefighting is the employment of airplanes and other aerial resources to tackle fires. Aerial firefighting assists in the control of wildfires by continually delivering enormous amounts of water and fire-fighting solutions to the fire's hot spot. To keep a fire from spreading, it employs water, water enhancers like foams and gels, and specially manufactured fire retardants like Phos-Chek.
These are either multirotor or fixed-wing aircraft. Aerial firefighting can include everything from observation drones to massive water bomber aircraft and light utility helicopters with buckets. It is commonly utilized by fire departments and the military.
Presently, aerial firefighting is widely used in fire incidence due to its ability to reach the fire from the top. The technology also currently going in the development phase which can raise the demand for aerial firefighting in the forecast period.
