About the Bell 412
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
The Bell 412’s twin engines, stable four-blade rotor, and adaptable cabin suit rescue and incident support. It can move teams and equipment, perform reconnaissance, and evacuate people when configured for the mission.
This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.
The Bell 412 is a utility helicopter of the Huey family manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It is a development of the Bell 212, with the major difference being the composite four-blade main rotor. It is a twin-turbine helicopter that has been popular on the civilian and military markets, and major users include Canada, Italy, and Japan. Several hundred have been produced since its introduction in 1979, and several iterations of upgrades and variations have been produced, such as with upgraded cockpit electronics.
