If one fell on a fire fighter you'd have one dead fella.

Which is why the article said:

As with today's aerial firefighting, a ground safety fire commander would
ensure ground personnel are clear of the airdrop zone and would direct
airdrop targeting.

Of course we know that ground commanders NEVER make mistakes, right?

Some of you may have had occasion to run into mathematicians and to
wonder, therefore, how they got that way.

This is a really good idea.....considering Bombardier is closing the
Canadair 415 water bomber plant in North Bay, Ontario, there ust be an easy
replacement for new bombers
