The water source required for the use of this aircraft is a lake that would allow for a three-mile stretch of clear area, 1 1/2 miles of lake for scooping operations and an additional 1 1/2 miles of flat or descending terrain for climb out. Lakes will be identified ahead of time.

The Canadian-based Martin Mars water bomber is available for use on California fires, and may be using area lakes as water sources.
