In reply to a question: "Does the CAF have fire fighting aircraft? " The
answer to that is no. The provincial governments have, if not they employ
private firms to do so.

I believe we sent at least 6 or 7 dowm there.

Not of those we didn't.

No, you're absolutely correct. I believe that company has only 2 or 3 of
them -- all that are left, AFAIK.

There are only 2 Martin Mars left in flying
condition and both reside on Vancouver Island.



But according to news reports, BC did send several similar aircraft,
probably from other companies or the Canadian Forces.

There were 2 CL-215s from Quebec also.



I should have been more clear on that point.

Sorry!
