Year-round fire retardant filling station for both assigned and deployed rotary and fixed wing aerial firefighting assets employed by the US Forest Service in fighting forest fires.
The facility is designed and laid out on the airside to permit the simultaneous loading of six tanker aircraft on piped hardstands, all of which are arranged in concentric figure-eights to permit the rapid arrival, loading and departure of aircraft without the need for ground handling equipment.
