Heavy-lift S-64 Skycrane operating on CAL FIRE contract during California fire season. HTS-owned (the HT tail-block is their fleet identifier) and operated out of CDF helitack bases on call-when-needed contracts. Same 2,650-gallon belly tank + open-water snorkel refill as the OHX Skycrane, but flying CAL FIRE missions across SRA wildlands rather than private contracts.
