Ah yes the noble art of wildfire fighting. I have the same copter and I actually changed the effect to water cause'.....

Choppers carry water and dump directly into the fire, because all heli pilots are better then fixed wing aircraft pilots.

Aircraft carry retardent and dump it around the perimeter to help contain the fire.

And Sikorskies, (which I found out recently are actually called S-50's, but everyone calls them Sikorskies) are stupid and smelly and slow and smoke jumpers made fun of us.
