The Nagoya City Fire Bureau has ordered an Airbus H160, where it will be deployed on a range of missions, such as fire fighting, search and rescue, and disaster response operations which includes reconnaissance of affected areas. This future addition will be configured for aerial fire fighting missions, where it can be installed either with a firefighting bucket or a belly-mounted water tank, enhancing its capability to support ground crew in suppressing wildfires. As one of the world’s technologically advanced helicopters, the H160 is designed and built to deliver the highest levels of operational safety while providing unmatched comfort for rotorcraft in its class. In addition to fire fighting, the helicopter is also able to undertake wide-ranging activities including law enforcement, offshore transportation, search and rescue, private and business aviation, and emergency medical services. The H160 is also used in Japan where three units are in service – two for law enforcement, and one for news gathering work. #AirbusHelicopters #MakingMissionsPossible #H160 #FireFighting #DisasterResponse
