Top 5 Firefighting and Rescue Helicopters 2022-2023 | Price & Specs

Today, we’ll take a look at our list of the best firefighting and rescue helicopters ever produced or that are still in production. Watch this entire episode to see the impressive high-performance helicopters used for a variety of operations and see our top pick near the end of the video!
Some helicopter models are developed not just to carry passengers or cargo, but as multi-utility aircraft that can be outfitted with a wide range of equipment to serve important missions, such as firefighting and rescue operations. There’s a growing list of great helicopters that can be used to transport firefighters and their supplies, scout for fires, drop water or retardant on fires, do search and rescue, and facilitate law enforcement missions, among other things. Some are powerful enough to carry as many as nine firefighters at once or bring large buckets or tanks to deliver hundreds of gallons of water to help firefighters on the ground, particularly in cases of huge forest fires or urban disasters.

The kaman kmax I am scared of . Those twin spinning rotors beats logic . The rest are all cool aircraft . Thanks Sophia!

[@AviationFederation]

Quite scary indeed. Thanks for watching!

[@roymayhew6250]

As it is , it is not bad , rescue helicopters , should have one thing more , before Korean helicopter will begin to develop. that is fire fighter , the drone to equip to handle who are stranded before the rescue takes place . drone to fly through the heat , to trapped people for water , and tools to help themselves to dig and go below the ground level in depth below for better chance of survival , and drone to fly and look for any survivors . Any way it is nice .

[@roymayhew6250]

And drone should be in under side of the craft .

[@patshes1951]

Where are you Sophia ? Send someting new !

[@roymayhew6250]

Wow , 8 million dollars , not bad , I am in wrong business , but please , why in the world would someone design blades to criss cross ? " ouch ! " I would be nervous as heck , if I was flying that , I would land to pee and look for the bathroom. Wow , for that price it better have emergency pee system dont you think ? without landing that is .
