Maybe singpilot can comment on this, but I've heard (from pilots) that the 747 is not exactly known for its low alititude, low speed handling prowess -- which would make for a tricky fire drop plane!
I noticed today that our LA County brush clearance seems to be behind schedule and we have not had an explicit Fire Marshall inspection since 2001. We are in an extreme fire hazard / brush area, but fortunately the area directly behind our lot is a watershed area which stays mostly green, otherwise I would be inclined to hike out there and start cutting myself :O
