How do helicopters help firefighters in Mallorca?
Firefighting helicopters can drop water quickly on hard-to-reach flames and help crews contain a fire before it spreads further. In Mallorca, they are most effective when air and ground teams work with clear coordination. A helicopter is useful support, but it does not replace the need for trained teams on the ground.
