Saskatchewan to receive new multi-purpose firefighting aircrafts

In addition to use these planes as a as a bomber. Budget to also use them as a transport plan to transport, yes, as you said, evacuees, people that may be injured may be on a stretcher, but also to drop and to get, you know, some of our wildfire ground crew into a location as quickly as possible. And so, you know a new and added service I think with this investment will be the ability to transport significant numbers of people in the plane in a in a very short on a very short notice. There’s two things Mother Nature is going to dictate a lot of this, but as the premier alluded, 50% of the fires that we have are started by. Individuals, that’s when the education comes in. The SPSA is in the schools. We’re working with Prince Albert Grand Council on Education, certainly for the north, as well as advertising on the radio and billboards to make sure that people ’cause if we cut the fires in half, we’re, we’re way ahead of where we were last year. So well, we’ve, we’ve got our eyes on 4 aircraft right now. Four very, you know, we, we want to pick the best. So we look worldwide for the best aircraft. And we’ve, we’ve really zeroed in on some very young airframes that we think are ideal for the, for Saskatchewan. Even not even and and it the the lifespan on AQ 400 is 80,000 hours or cycles cycles. And we’d be looking for something in its infancy, something in the 56000 cycles for the multi role and something in the 15 to 20,000 cycles for the for the for the air tanker, which will give you I mean we say 25 years guaranteed. It’ll give you much more than that. It’ll give you 4040 fifty years.
