We’ll take a look at how air power, specifically air tankers that suck water from Lakes in just a Couple of seconds using scoopers to fight fire from the sky.
Cal Fire operates its own fleet of aircraft, stationed at 14 airfields and 11 helicopter bases across the state.
This setup allows most aircraft to reach fires within about 20 minutes, as long as there aren’t heavy Breeze like the Santa Ana Winds.
The fleet includes tactical “O”V-10s, Broncos which often serve as lead aircraft, directing the coordinated efforts of the team.
All of the aircraft work together, often making multiple flights each day to combat fires. Their goal?
To precisely guide and support larger assets like the Super Scooper and the Boeing Seven Four Seven Super Tanker in dropping water or fire retardant, often sourced from nearby water bodies.
Cal Fire also relies on its iconic Bell Huey helicopters, made famous during the Vietnam War.
These versatile helicopters can pick up water from nearly any source using their attached buckets, making them invaluable for fighting wildfires in even the most remote areas.
What Is the Retardant Used to Fight Fires?
In battling the fires in Los Angeles, aerial operations have primarily involved aircraft collecting seawater from the Pacific Ocean.
However, bright pink and red retardants have also been utilized to coat flames on the ground.
Even after the water evaporates, the fertilizer remains on the ground, forming a visible red stripe that can persist for days or even weeks, providing a continued barrier against fire spread.

Hey Americans did you learned from this 🔥 incident…
Americans : No we live more dumber than this…
Should've talked about the DC-10 instead. No point in mentioning the retired 747.
Am I trippin or is Dean Cane the narrator??
It would be awesome if they could figure out how to fill the tanks of the 747 without the need to land as well. It would make it a much more effective fire fighting apparatus. They should special build a new aircraft as big as the MARS allowing the pilots to drop larger amounts of water per drop and returning must faster.
It doesn’t matter putting out fires what matters is diversity and that these firefighters look like the people they serve
Fun fact the Being plane was retired due to Budget cuts and now look at that decision looks like 100 Billion dollars of Damages was worth it hey lets spend billions on planting trees lol.
Thank you Canada 🇨🇦
Scooper great
I love your channel. 1 of this best on thy internet, by far!!!
Been thinking how it works for a while and now I know. Thank you for the your brilliant work!
If you are making a video regarding aerial firefighting atleast use correct information. There isn’t a 747 tanker anymore it was retired years ago .
I did not understand how the Phosphate fertilizer prevents fire, other then as a color marker
Always a perfect explanation. Thank you.

“The plane was retired due to high operational cost” – The highest taxing liberal government
THANK YOU👩🚒👩🚒👩🚒✈✈✈🙏🙏🙏
The values for the super scooper are different Liters when presented twice… pls do better final checking before posting
These are not American they are Canadian. Nice try.
From what I’ve heard. USA doesn’t have any of these super scoopers. These are from Canada. But apparently this video is something else that might actually be right, I might actually just be wrong with observation
Anyone else hear the Tailspin intro song while seeing these fly 😆 🤣
The CL-415 is developed, made and piloted by Canadians who are still in LA helping the cause.
CalFire doesn’t operate the Super Scooper or 747. They call them in when needed.
CAL FIRE’s current aviation fleet includes Grumman S-2T Airtankers, Bell UH-1H Super Huey Helicopters, Sikorsky S-70i Helicopters, North American OV-10A (& 1 D Model) Bronco Air Tactical Aircraft and C-130 Hercules Airtankers.
My friends in California (I'm indian) are saying when a house is about to get fire because nearby house is burnt down so that house is next in line of fire ,the fire department 🚒 vehicles standing their are saying they are out of water but when the new house get caught in fire and almost half burnt new vehicle come up with water and now instead of preventing another next house they throw entire water on almost burnt house
Is it true or just misconception because they said when their house got burnt they requested to use water to save neighbors house instead of their burnt house but fire workers denied that
What flyover audio is that from constantly on a loop in the background audio?
747 super tanker isn’t a thing anymore. Stop making these videos for views and get the facts.
can you imagine it sopfeu had more than 14 plane ….
Remember that is a non profit canadian unit.
Mostly finance by wood industry and individual.
It partialy supported by the province of québec tax payer.
Honestly that is my favorite us of my tax money i live there.
I am kind of proud we send 2 to california to prevent that fire…
It's so far from us.
Make new Video on INS Nilgiri the 5th deadliest frigate of world
This is crazy good content! What tool do you edit with???
California location looks like a GAZA
the wind from fan/engine exhause of low height aircrafts and from helicopters bring to fasten natural wind. so they dont distinguishing fire, but blame the more defective fire, make bigger fire. so, stop using helicopters and aircrafts there.
The Super Scoopers are not owned or operated by the state of California. They come from Canada and are owned and operated by the province of Quebec.
That super tanker is on the auction block. That is why you don’t see it being used. Californian said they don’t need it or couldn’t afford to pay its cost. It’s owned by corporate companies and they charge the government to use it. They don’t make a profit that just charge them the operating cost.
Los Angeles Wildfires.
January 2025.
Its like a war zone.
this video devotes quote a bit of time to cover the Super Scooper and makes zero mention of its Canadian design, origins, and manufacture and that Canada sent them to help Los Angeles. So I will pay credit due, to Canada, Alberta, BC, or Quebec where these Super Scoopers are from.
Congratulations Canada you did something
Super giant respect for the ladies and gentlemen who fight these fires. You all are the backbone of America
Canada sent those big yellow water bombers to help fight your fires capable of scooping salt water. Get your facts straight 🇨🇦🚨🚒
