Fire Fighting

Aerial Fire fighting

Global Helicopter Service is a trusted supplier of firefighting helicopters, crew, and equipment; reliable, efficient, and cost-effective.

GHS has a robust firefighting capability using highly experienced crew on the Bell 412 helicopters with Bambi buckets to douse the flames and reduce the potential spread of a fire as well as to transport equipment and ground workforce to the scene and out of it.

The tactics and the fire suppression flight profiles will be determined by:

  • Customer requirements,
  • The availability of other aircraft and ground teams,
  • Terrain and environmental conditions.

GHS will work with the customer to determine the best utilization of aircraft and equipment to provide maximum fire suppression effectiveness.

We conduct regular training with fire brigades, civil protection, and mountain rescue service teams in our area to remain highly professional and up to date in order to improve our services:

  • Improvement of communication with command structures of relevant fire brigades
