Original Toronto Star caption: Where's the (forest) fire? The forest fire-fighting Canadair CL-215 water-bomber shows its talents in a demontration yesterday at Toronto Island airport. The $6-million twin-engined aircraft is designed primarily for fighting forest fires. Twenty-eight may be ordered from the Crown-owned corporation in Montreal by seven of the provinces and the federal government. The aircraft can scoop up 5,347 litres (1,176 gallons) of water in 10 seconds as it skims over a lake or ocean.
