About the Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil
Water-bombing helicopter
It uses a suspended bucket or an installed tank to take water from a nearby source and place short, precise drops, including in steep or confined terrain. Depending on its configuration, it may also move crews, equipment, or rescue teams.
What this type can do
The AS350 or H125 is a light, highly maneuverable helicopter that can reach steep or confined sites quickly. A bucket or tank gives it precise initial-attack drops; it can also carry a small team or observer.
This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.
The Airbus Helicopters H125 Écureuil, or Squirrel, is a single-engine light utility helicopter designed and originally manufactured by the French corporation Aérospatiale, later by Eurocopter, which became Airbus Helicopters. In North America, the H125 is marketed as the AStar. The AS355 Ecureuil 2 is a twin-engine variant, marketed in North America as the TwinStar.
