With fall in full swing and hundreds of wildfires still burning in Canada during a record-breaking fire season, a B.C.-based company is taking a unique approach to extinguishing those flames.
The strategy involves converting former commercial airplanes into firefighting aircraft.
Neetu Garcha has an inside look at how these airtankers are made, who's using them, and the increasing international demand for modern planes.

Now that is a good news story for Canada, even though the circumstances are rough. Carry on lads and be safe.

Good to see a BC success story, but those tankers aren’t 1/2 as good as the water skimming bombers DeHavilland makes.. if we learnt anything in 2023, I hope we learned helicopters don’t cut the mustard fir fighting fires.

The BCWF really need to start using them in BC!!! Didn't see any of the big planes on the Shuswap firestorm when 46,000 hectares burned!!!!

Dehavilland has the DHC 415 AND 515 takes 12 seconds to load from small to medium sized lake, even capable of filling on a dog leg shaped lake. Many more options available. It's wings are built in Sanich and shipped to Calgary where the plane is put together. Short take off and landing. Retardant capable of being added on location.

Not for the first time the Canadian and Australian fire seasons are overlapping. Keep safe, leave early.

@@jumbome7420 You write a scientific paper proving that fire seasons aren’t getting longer, hotter and dryer due to Climate Change. Submit it to Reviews of Geophysics and get it published.

More profitable than flying passengers. You can soak the government on costs.

If we had bought those instead of F35's or gifted zelensky billions we could have had a mild fire season. Go figure.

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die." That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died on the cross for you
