Aerial firefighting coverage is usually measured by reach: whether an aircraft can get to a fire in time. That matters, but it is only part of it. A helicopter or a scooper does not make a single drop and stop. It drops, flies to water, reloads, and drops again, and how much it can put on a fire depends heavily on how close the nearest usable water is. Two of the same aircraft can deliver very different amounts, simply because one has a usable reload point closer than the other.

Short answer: if a smoke alarm sounding in one part of your home might not be heard elsewhere, it’s worth considering an interconnected system. Most people assume that if a smoke alarm sounds, everyone in the house will hear it. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. If a fire starts in the garage while your family is asleep, the nearest smoke alarm will sound first.
