Abstract
The Coulson Martin Mars, along with the Coulson Firewatch S76 aircraft, were contracted for wildfires burning in Mexico near the border with Texas in April/May 2011. The Mars aircraft dropped water enhancing gel products on the fire, with the Coulson Firewatch S76 overseeing the operation from the air. Coulson has asked FPInnovations to accompany them to document the operations and outcomes of the fire action.
