C208 Caravan 

The Cessna C208 Caravan serves as an airborne command centre supporting bird dog, air attack, patrol, reconnaissance and rapid response operations. From above the fireline, it provides the coordination, situational awareness and tactical direction needed to support safe and effective wildfire suppression. 

​

The Caravan directs airtanker operations, monitors fire behaviour, identifies priorities and connects aircraft, ground crews and incident teams in real time.
