Sunday Times, Perth, Australia:
A NEW Fire King helicopter - four times the size of usual airborne firefighters - in in WA, on trial from the US.
The Sunday Times understand an official unveiling of the aircraft will take place next week to mark the beginning of a 110-day aerial bushfire assault throughout the state.
Capable of carrying 15 firefighters and able to spray 4000 litres of water on fire, the super chopper, from Oregon, will be used in tandem with four helicopters and eight fixed-wing aircraft.
