in my experience, around here anyway (McClellan), firefighting aircraft don't typically take to the air until around 1000hrs.
There are briefings, checks and what not before they can fly. And maybe weather conditions - over the fire or the airfield?
At the old place I could hear the 10 tanker planes and the GST when they were on the ground at KMCC revving up.
