The 4-engine aircraft may be the British Aerospace BA-146/RJ-85 (the aircraft has a number of variants.) I know that quite a number of them have been converted as air tankers, and I personally saw one en route to a fire near Reno, NV last summer. It's a stubby-looking, 4-engine aircraft with T-tail and a high-mounted wing.
