Fire & Rescue Aircraft S.L. Hamilton

The special designs and challenges of fire and rescue aircraft, along with the unique skills of their pilots, are emphasized in full-color, dramatic photos. Readers fight fires in fixed-wing planes and specially designed helicopters carrying thousands of gallons of water or chemicals. They ride along on rescues that take on altitude, wind, snow, rain, fog, and more to bring injured people to safety. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
