The Canadair CL-215 was the first purpose-built aerial firefighting aircraft, designed and produced in Montreal and flown for the first time in 1967. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radials, the amphibious hull allowed it to scoop a full load of water from a lake in a matter of seconds while skimming the surface, then return to the fire without landing. Around 125 were built, serving with Canadian provincial fleets including Ontario and Quebec as well as operators in France, Spain, Greece, and elsewhere.
