San Jose Fire Department and CalFire (formerly known as CDF) attack a Wildland fire in Silver Creek Valley in June, 2009.
Here CalFire Copter 106 is in action during an air attack.
In 1981, CalFire acquired 12 UH-1F helicopters from the Air Force. They were modified for fire fighting and used by CalFire until 1990 when they were replaced by newer, highly modified, Vietnam-era UH-1H helicopters.
Referred to as the Super Huey, CalFire has nine available statewide.
