Here's a bit of wildfire fighting action, featuring two Bell 212 medium lift helicopters picking up water off of Kootenay Lake to fight a forest fire in the area.
The two helicopters filmed are:
Wildcat Helicopters Bell 212 C-FOHK equipped with a belly tank.
Hydra Helicopters Bell 212 C-FNPG with the Eagle Single conversion, seen swooping in and picking up water with a long line and Bambi bucket.

Jesse, very nice to catch a Bell in action, hate to know there may be a fire, could just be a drill exercise, anyway, nice job my good friend

@VMCAviationVideos 5 лет назад

Noooo, not a drill exercise. Lots of fires here in British Columbia during the Summer.

@TheHDAviation 4 года назад

Thanks very much Steve! It's always fun to see these wildfire fighting helicopters in action, though it usually means that we're getting some bad fires in the area. We got pretty lucky this summer though, and didn't have anything too bad in the area. Summer 2017 and 2018 were horrible though, so much smoke!

Awesome footage. I've never seen the process of filling the helicopters up with water using the hoses before!

Interesting to see this proces from up close. Nice footage Jesse, well done! How are things going there at the moment? Still a lot of wildfires?

@TheHDAviation 4 года назад

Thanks very much Mylos! Things are good now, luckily we haven't had any bad wildfire in the area this year.

Thanks so much Matt! Luckily there aren't any bad fires in the area this year, so much better than the last couple summers.

Love them. Only ever got to take 1 helicopter ride ( technically 2 , there and back ) , out to a glacier

@TheHDAviation 4 года назад

I've only had a couple short helicopter flights as well. Love the sensation though!

@@TheHDAviation I got to be right at the landing sight for a couple of Cobra attack helis though. Gonna put that footage sometime this week hopefully

@livetrackingvideonetwork7381 4 года назад

They should use helicopters and planes for ambulance and fire fighters because it’s a lot more safer and a lot more quicker as well because every time I see firetrucks in emergencies they always have problems want to try to get through the roads and highways there’s lots of cars lots of people don’t get in the hospital in time or get to the fire that is burning in time
