About the De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver

Coordination and observation aircraft

It carries the observers and radios that organize the air operation. It locates and assesses the fire, identifies safe drop runs, separates aircraft in the incident airspace, and guides tankers; it normally carries no water or retardant.

What this type can do

Ontario’s DHC-2T Turbo Beaver is a remote-area utility and observation aircraft, not a dedicated water bomber. Its wheel, ski, or float configurations and optional telemetry antenna let crews move loads and survey wildlife or terrain where conventional runways are unavailable.

This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.

The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a single-engined high-wing propeller-driven short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft developed and manufactured by de Havilland Canada. It has been primarily operated as a bush plane and has been used for a wide variety of utility roles, such as cargo and passenger hauling, aerial application, and civil aviation duties.
