Night Aerial Fire Suppression
Ever innovative and creative, Coulson Aviation has established night firefighting operations in Australia and California. We first implemented our night aerial fire suppression protocols in response to the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria Australia. Our pilots employ night vision technology (NVG), allowing our attack crews to hover fill from open water sources, and carry out pinpoint fire suppression using laser guided drop technology.
