Today, we’ll take a look at our list of the best firefighting and rescue helicopters ever produced or that are still in production. Watch this entire episode to see the impressive high-performance helicopters used for a variety of operations and see our top pick near the end of the video!
Some helicopter models are developed not just to carry passengers or cargo, but as multi-utility aircraft that can be outfitted with a wide range of equipment to serve important missions, such as firefighting and rescue operations. There’s a growing list of great helicopters that can be used to transport firefighters and their supplies, scout for fires, drop water or retardant on fires, do search and rescue, and facilitate law enforcement missions, among other things. Some are powerful enough to carry as many as nine firefighters at once or bring large buckets or tanks to deliver hundreds of gallons of water to help firefighters on the ground, particularly in cases of huge forest fires or urban disasters.
