CL-215. Этот CL-215, базировавшийся в марсельском аэропорту Мариньян, входил в состав французской полувоенной организации "Securite Civile" ("Защита гражданского населения и объектов"). 10 амфибий, поставленных в марте 1970 года, постоянно боролись с пожарами. Их местонахождение позволяло использовать воды залива Этан-де-Берр, что уменьшало время между сбросами воды. Французские воздушные пожарные считались самыми опытными в мире, многие из них пришли из ВВС.
