Water-scooping firefighter planes—often called “scoopers” or “amphibious water bombers”—are specialized aircraft designed to combat wildfires.

These planes are particularly valuable in regions wi

They may have been hidden from public view due to the remote location but, they were out in full force. The giant aircraft quickly scoops more than 1,400 gallons of water. Scoopers can operate for extended periods of time and have a quick turn-around between scooping water and dropping it on the fire. This is one of the many air resources being used on the Green Fire which is

Two super scoopers, specialized amphibious aircrafts designed for firefighting, dumped 127,400 gallons of water on the Green Fire yesterday. This created lasting effects that allowed firefighters on the ground to continue strengthening and reinforcing lines today around a 50 acre spot fire that occurred on July 15th. When they scoop water, the planes are on the water for 20 seconds. It takes a mere 12 seconds to fill the tank with over 1,400 gallons. The scoopers do not scoop up any fish. There
