Two CL-415 Super Scoopers are stationed at the Williams Lake Regional Airport

Thanks to Ontario experiencing some wet weather, the central province is able to share some resources as B.C. braces for the possibility of more fires.

The planes arrived in Williams Lake on Saturday, July 13, thanks to resource-sharing between the provinces which allows for provinces to assist one another by sharing wildfire resources when not needed in their own province. The planes hopped from Sudbury, Ont. to Dryden, Ont. and then were in Kamloops for a night before making their way to their destination for the time being, Williams Lake.

The body of the plane acts as a single pontoon when landing on water and one of the floats below each wing will also be used to balance the plane while it sits on the water.
