Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane. As it’s name denotes used for heavy lift and wildfire suppression.
Developed for the US Army and used in Vietnam.
Erickson is the type certificate holder for the helicopter.

Interesting note, behind the pilot and copilot seats is a hook operator that sits facing aft and has flight controls (limited) for positioning the hook over a lift point.
