Great video. These aircraft are perfect for this job. Cheap to buy and operate and highly maneuverable. What's the music?

It s may be more efficient than a bigger plane, but much more manevreable and precice. Specially in mountainous area where it 1000 L of water can be very usefull.

French government do have canadair CL415 and Firecat (tracker). But during strongest part of summer they also received help from private company operating Ag Plane like those, trush commander, and air-tractor ...
