The behemoth Bombardier CL-415 Super Scoopers joined firefighters from the air as the two planes on loan from AeroFlite Aerial Firefighting scooped from Castaic Lake and dropped on the Lake Fire. The two fly in tandem and together deliver 3,200 gallons of water. These are not the contracted yellow Super Scoopers from Quebec, Canada. They've been specially assigned to the Lake Fire as conditions worsen. The fire has burned 11,637 acres of land and is 12% contained, meaning about 12% of the burned

Two super scoopers, specialized amphibious aircrafts designed for firefighting, dumped 127,400 gallons of water on the Green Fire yesterday. This created lasting effects that allowed firefighters on the ground to continue strengthening and reinforcing lines today around a 50 acre spot fire that occurred on July 15th. When they scoop water, the planes are on the water for 20 seconds. It takes a mere 12 seconds to fill the tank with over 1,400 gallons. The scoopers do not scoop up any fish. There

Super Scoopers, the planes built for fighting wildfires

The super scoopers are back in Los Angeles! Leased yearly from Canada, they are an important part of Los Angeles County Fire Department’s aerial firefighting. Each plane carries 1600 gallons of water divided into four compartments. Pilots can drop as little as 400 gallons or the whole load with the push of a button. And they work in tandem, taking an average of only 12 seconds to refill. #SuperScoopers 🎥 Matt Hartman | Gigi Graciette

Awesome video footage from a couple days ago on the Red Canyon Fire 🔥 — featuring two Canadian Super Scoopers (CL-415s) backing up U.S. crews on this massive blaze that has already torched 90,000 acres, 14 miles east of Thermopolis, Wyoming. These amphibious aircraft can scoop up to 1,600 gallons of water in just 12 seconds from nearby lakes and drop it straight onto the fire, making rapid turnarounds to keep pressure on the flames. Thank you to Joe Martinez for the footage. #caughtthefirebug #
