Dropping Fire Retardants by Helicopter and Its Application to Wildfire Prevention near Electrical Transmission Lines
Dropping fire retardants by helicopter can effectively reduce the intensity of wildfires. This study proposes a test plan for spraying different fire retardants from a helicopter bucket fire extinguisher. In this study, pure water, 10% Class AB flame retardant, 0.3% gel flame retardant, 10% Class A...
