Join us as we go Behind the Wings to discover how cutting-edge aviation firefighting innovations are battling wildfires like never before.

In this in-depth episode, we explore the rapidly evolving world of aviation firefighting and how advanced technology is helping teams respond to unprecedented wildfire threats. Learn how agencies like Cal Fire deploy the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet, converting Black Hawk helicopters into powerful Firehawks and coordinating over 60 aircraft across California. Discover how night vision goggles now let pilots fight fires from the sky after sunset, and how real-time data streaming connects airborne and ground crews for faster, smarter action.

The video highlights the impact of new fire surveillance tech, live mapping, and the first use of night vision fixed-wing aircraft in places like Oregon and California. We showcase the Firehawk helicopter’s incredible capabilities - from delivering massive water drops to rapid firefighter deployment in rugged terrain - and discuss the major investments, operational costs, and the future of wildfire response. See firsthand how agencies adapt to climate-driven challenges with smarter strategy, next-gen equipment, and inter-agency cooperation, protecting people, property, and forests for years to come.
