Air Cranes battling Australian wildfires

摘要

Portland, Oregon-based Erickson is flying six of its S-64 Air Cranes on Australia's record-setting wildfires. More than 12 million acres of that country have been charred during this year's fire season—six times more than that consumed during California's record-setting 2018 infernos that inflicted an estimated $3.5 billion in damages, consumed 1.9 million acres, destroyed 10,300 structures, and left 103 dead.
