As I recall I think it was on a Myrtle Beach N model when we were still fighting fires with the H-43.  I was in ARS standardization at the time and the powers that be wanted to see if the H-1 could possibly fight a fire in the LBR role.  Because of the unique rotor wash from the H-43 it was much better suited for the fire fighting role and the H-1 with the FSK mission never got off the ground.  The rotor wash from the H-1 really stirred up the fire compared to the H-43 which cut a path into it.  That was probably a one shot test with the H-1 and FSK.
