CONT

Deux concepts sont présentement mis de l'avant pour la réalisation des arrosages aériens, soit le concept de l'action unique et celui du nombre de gallons d'eau à l'heure. (...) Le concept du nombre de gallons d'eau à l'heure est utilisé (...) dans les régions isolées et dépourvues d'aéroports mais qui comportent un grand nombre de lacs ou de plans d'eau divers (...) L'application de ce concept exige de déverser une grande quantité d'eau dans le but de maîtriser l'incendie, tout en perdant le minimum de temps à transporter chaque charge.
