Overview
\"This is the first year that Neptune Aviation's entire tanker fleet has been deployed at any given time, under USFS or State exclusive use contracts, throughout the Western US,\" [Dan Snyder] noted. \"That includes all six of our P2Vs, and all six of our BAe 146s--one of which is under a Cal-Fire contract.\" According to [Robin Rogers], the fire situation in California this year has been sporadic.\" We've seen fires that break out, last about 10 days, and then we have 10 days to two weeks without anything serious, before they flare up again,\" he said. \"What we've been spared, so far, are fires caused by dry lightning, but if we start seeing dry lightning within the next 45 to 60 days, that will be a tipping point.\" \"The privately operated aerial firefighters have been an essential tool for initial attack and containment of wildland fires, and the two major ones going on in California right now are another illustration,\" said George Hill, Executive Director of the American Helicopter Services And Aerial Firefighting Association (AHSAFA). \"The companies flying on those fires have once again proven their readiness for immediate deployment, even at the initial attack level, and throughout the containment process.\"
