A new technology has to be invented to tackle wildlife fires which should be cost effective too i have seen the use of aircraft with water bucket hold but that is not economical i have an idea and i want to disscuss it.What we need is mid-air floating station made up of light weight materials as platform and a number of hydrogen gas baloon to lift it up in the atomsphere were it can withstand the simple load of water pipe from some source nearby and it will provide us with required amount of water to fight with the fire below in forest where approche from ground is diffcult and it will be a new equipment to fight fire from above.
