Given the wildfires across Canada and the US, does North America need an amphibious water bomber larger than the twin-engine Canadair CL-215/415?

The Russians, for example have the much larger Beriev Be-200 and the Chinese the AVIC AG600M, while Japan is proposing a water bomber variant of their ShinMaywa US-2. The later two of these larger water bombers are four engined.
