The national forest service's first firefighting plane,the dragon fly, was based off of curtiss' 4P. Some changes included the subtraction of two seats and the addition of a single rear facing uper wing water cannon which fed from several tanks stored inside the wing itself.

@JohnnyBoythePilot Lol ok
It's pretty good, but the elevator controls are backwards (someone hooked the control cables the wrong way, lol). Also like the spray hose on the right wing. Good job, but you may want to fix the elevator issue.
