What is the job of a firefighting plane?

Firefighting aircraft (also called water bombers) are specialized planes that combat wildfires by dropping water or fire retardant. Common types include:

1. Scooper aircraft (like the Canadair CL-415) - Can collect water by skimming lakes/oceans
2. Large air tankers (like DC-10 Air Tanker) - Carry up to 12,000 gallons of retardant
3. Single Engine Air Tankers (SEAT) - Smaller, more maneuverable craft for precise drops

These aircraft typically operate alongside ground crews and helicopters as part of coordinated firefighting efforts. They're especially valuable for fires in remote areas or challenging terrain.
