The Air Tractor with floats is known as the Fire Boss. There was an article about it in Aviation Canada a while ago. They use it a lot up here in Canada to fight forrest fires. It's made by Wipaire Inc out of St Paul Minnesota.

I've seen these used before for fires.  I'm curious why, as they certainly couldn't hold very much...

i suppose you could use the tail wheel off that wreck.. could be used as a nice ornament in the garden  :)
