As part of its fire-fighting efforts, the French Civil Security has hired a special helicopter from RTE that can carry up to 4,000 litres of water. The purpose of this helicopter is to extinguish forest fires, which are becoming more and more frequent every summer. 

Since the summer of 2022, RTE has called on SEGULA to maintain the helicopter and the “bambi bucket” (tarpaulin containing the water). To carry out this project, SEGULA mechanics and a technician have been integrated into the mission to carry out maintenance and pre- and post-flight checks. They will be working at the Avignon base, as well as in-flight when the alert is triggered. The SEGULA logistician remains at the base and is responsible for anticipating orders for spare parts. 

Thanks to their expertise and know-how, the SEGULA Technologies team helps RTE to maintain a high level of aircraft availability.
