The description states:

Kneeland Helitack Copter 102 is a UH-1H Super Huey based in the Cal Fire Humboldt-Del Norte Unit in Kneeland, California. The crew consists of one pilot, two fire captains, and six firefighters. Their primary responsibility is to respond to callouts for initial attack on wildfires and other emergencies. Copter 102 can deliver a 7-person crew with firefighting hand tools and drop 324 gallons of water and foam using a Bambi Bucket. The helicopter and crew are also used in a number of other missions including air rescue, aerial ignition, cargo sling load, troop transport, reseeding operations, and mapping.
