Why is it that when a wood or brushwood fire is fought, the firemen bury everything they learned when putting out edifice fires? Fire combatants putting out edifice fires make not drop H2O on the buildings! They make not drop reddish retardant! They have got a fire engine, and multiple hosieries and they focus their H2O on the fire, at one topographic point till it it out! Yet, when the same squad races to a non-building fire, they bury all their training. Dropping H2O on a fire is wasteful.
Fire engines are effectual at putting out all fires. So, one must take the fire engine to the fire, one manner or another! As the chief ingredient of a fire engine is a H2O container, the fastest manner to set out a wood fire is to utilize a chopper the size of a "Huey" [normal military size for carrying troops], one takes all the cabin stuffs and topographic points within it a collapsible H2O tight container. Affiliated to that container is a H2O pump[s]. Attached to the pump is a hosiery with a nose that is controllable. A Huey can transport about 500 gals of water. [water weighs 8 pounds per gal]. With lone a airplane pilot and a navigator-water gunner, the Huey [ideally paired with 2-3 more] gets at the fire, and hovers above it, 50-300ft.
Depending on the wind, the helo might necessitate to climb up or hover off to the side-and with a pump, the H2O can be forced out over 100 foot horizontally before it gets to concentrate down. If 3-6 of these specifically equipped choppers were to get at any fire, within hours, the fire is out. The H2O spray focusing would be on -concurrently, the country already burned, the country ahead of the fire and the country combustion now. ONE chopper would be the bid 1 and wing at the caput of the pack, staying even when its H2O supply was exhausted.
One one-half of the chops would constantly be flying back to the H2O supply and returning so that at all times, 2-3 chops would be dispensing water. With 1500 gals dispensed in a focused manner, over a 5 acre area, any fire would be contained within 2 hours. This system can work with or in stead of the current battalion of land workers, other choppers dumping from pails and aeroplanes spreading reddish retardant. Also, each state have a national guard that includes these perfectly suited helicopters!
One adult male in Los Angeles, California, is using a similar attack by having H2O focused on fires by having it come up out of the country below his helicopter's rear rotor.
