Ed Carter, Chief Pilot of Downstown Aero Crop Services, talked to the Press of Atlantic City about how SEATs are dispatched to wildfires in New Jersey. Ed is located in southern New Jersey (NJ Forest Fire Service Division C). The embed code that I was using may not be compatible with changes Blogger is making as they move blogs to https. So, I have removed the embed code, but you may go this direct link to video from the Press of Atlantic City to watch the video.
What he describes applies across the State of New Jersey, and applies to helicopters and SEATs.

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
