I had no idea they were using H-3s for that - I saw a Skycrane working the
fires, but I guess if they can, so can a Seaking.

The Seakings were owned by a company, I think it was called Coulson.
Skycranes are turning out to very big assets on forest fires, and they are even
being made new again. Erickson bought the type certificates for them and is
manufacturing them. Italy recently purchased 4 of them.
