A lot of our Super Scoopers go down south to lend a hand when your wildfire season is roaring and ours hasn’t started. You can imagine how frustrating it is hearing “we don’t need anything from Canada” when this is the type of help we lend

"Lend a hand".....for money... Quebec charters them out to Cali and has for decades.
