That is what we are basicly using them for now. Air Attack on Wildfires.

It was pretty good in that job, two engines to get you home
or at least away from the guys with the AKs. As fire
spotter, at least you don't get shot at as much.

Not much but I have heard others have bullet holes in their planes. Must
be someone doing something the were not supposed to. We have made a
couple of passes at Lookout towers where the alarms have gone off. We
made one where I caught movement out of the side of my eye. We went over
and had a look. They scattered. Guess they were feeling guilty. Being
near a Lookout tower is not illegal. breaking in is.
