Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 27: January 1966
Firefighters have been injured severely and even killed by the impact of retardants dropped from low flying air tankers. To warn ground firefighters of the approach of an air tanker on the final drop run, Joe Noble, safety officer of the shasta-trinity National Forest, suggested that an electronic siren be installed in the lead plane directing the air operation or in the air tanker. Because air tankers often operate on initial attack without lead planes, it was decided to install the siren in an air tanker.
