S-64 Sky Crane

Anyone know how many S-64’s are left flying today? I saw a wonderful picture in our local paper of an S-64 picking up water to battle the forest fires over in the Western U.S. It was a striking picture and if I get it scanned I can post it if anyone would like. I was just wondering how many are still flying and who all uses them. When did the U.S. Army retire them?
