About the Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil
Rescue and support helicopter
It is tracked here for rescue and operational support, not as a dedicated water bomber. It can reconnoiter, insert or evacuate people, carry medical teams and equipment, and keep command connected when roads are slow or inaccessible.
What this type can do
In rescue and support use, the AS350 or H125 reaches confined or high terrain quickly with a small team and equipment. It can reconnoiter, insert rescuers, or evacuate a casualty; this role does not imply that a water bucket is fitted.
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.
