A product of continuous innovation, the story of the T700 will continue to unfold as it incorporates advanced components and materials for increased power, reliability and fuel savings.

Fighting Extreme Wildfires with Extreme Machines

One weapon in the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s arsenal is the Firehawk, a modified Black Hawk UH-60 helicopter that can carry 1,000 gallons of water and fly near intense fires that cause huge temperature swings.

Sikorsky originally developed the Blackhawk for the U.S. Army. However, the Firehawk, which is powered by a pair of T700-701D GE helicopter engines, has been modified for firefighting, rescue, external lift and medical evacuation.
