What is significant is that for the second time in fire aviation history that a CL 415 was being used on wildland fires in the mid west. Last summer (2015) three CL415s flew on fires in California, based at Lake Tahoe, a real first. Los Angeles County has had fire contracts for two scoopers for their fall fire season (Santa Ana winds) since the 1980's. This contract was exclusive use to the Los Angeles County area.

They aren't used all that much down in the States. Commonly used here in Canada.

Actually, in 2011 in Texas we had a bunch of wildfires and there were surprisingly used down here.About 3-4 of them flew down here....
