Abstract

The article discusses the importance of a specialized amphibious firefighting plane, commonly known as a Canadair, in combating wildfires around the world. Due to climate change, wildfires have become more frequent and intense, making these water-bombers crucial in firefighting efforts. After being out of production for almost 10 years, De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Ltd. has reached new agreements with European Union countries to provide 22 DHC-515 firefighter planes. These planes are considered incomparable to anything else available and will help meet the increasing demand for aerial firefighting assets. [Extracted from the article]
