Aerial Firefighting

Looked around and didn't see a general thread on the subject of Fire Bombers & Tankers. The demand is only going to go up and I think it's reasonable to assume job opportunities will only increase in the near term.

Would love the hear from folks with experience on the mil & civ sides of aerial firefighting. A few questions to start:

How much of a benefit would a TFR be given the operation environment of marginal VFR at low altitudes?

What has been the evolution of the "lead plane" concept? Does the tanker simply keep sight and then drop on command?
