Helicopters in the service of the Kazavialesoohrana
Firefighting
Equipping the helicopter with additional equipment makes it possible to use it in forestry - to extinguish forest fires. Usually, with the help of helicopters, water or chemical flame retardants are thrown onto the fire. For one flight the technician is able to drop up to several tons of water, which is an effective tool in the fight against dangerous elements.
Monitoring of ecological zones
Prevention of poaching is similar with the patrolling function of helicopters. That's why helicopters are hardly the only helper in the fight against illegal loggers.
Thus, helicopters not only serve as transportation, but also help to save the natural resources that are falling every day, and sometimes even somebody's priceless lives.
