  • The report sheds new light on modern aerial firefighting approaches that have the potential to improve the effectiveness of how the country fights wildfires.
  • If fire agencies act on the AFUE findings and configure aerial firefighting strategies to reflect aircraft effectiveness, it opens up additional opportunities to improve our nations aerial firefighting readiness.
