A lake is near where both helicopter and plane can access the water and fire.
Which aircraft (if you had access to only one) is more efficient in putting out wildfires? What cost less to operate and which aircraft can deliver the most water per load and on the average?
I have added this link below on how this airplane delivers water. Sorry it is longer than 4 minutes. In the video at 4:49 the plane can touch down and refill without stopping.

Both have their respective uses. A fixed-wing carries more water, but takes an airfield to operate, and is more difficult to discharge just how you want it. A helicopter is more precise, but has less water output per hour. A heli is quicker to get there and back near the water, a fixed-wing is quicker a longer distance away. You want both, not just one.
