Link is to article about Canada's great need for firefighting aircraft.

Call me crazy... but 99% of the time wouldn't a shared firefighting aircraft fleet shared between Australia and Canada or perhaps a European nation only be needed in one or the other place at any one given time of year??

The fire would be out by the time a ship arrives. I think they'd just put the helicopters onto planes. The air force has planes for that.
