No newschoppers arent equipped to carry heavy loads. I'm quite certain they arent in the way. In fact officials have said the live chopper feeds help them see where they need to be. Because they can fly over the hills and steep passes and ravines and such. So I think they are serving a purpose. LA has around 7 live Choppers in the air at one time. But I think since CBS bought KCAL 9 they show combined live footage from their shared newschopper. Plus you have to count the 4 live Choppers from the San Diego stations that are covering the story from the northern end of their viewing area.

Is the Chopper cam helicopter helping the fire fighting effort by actually dropping buckets of water themselves? If not, they should bugger off out of there and leave airspace for those actually fighting the fires to get on with doing just that.....
