A forest fire is already producing significant amounts of CO2 as it goes. Probably orders of magnitude more than you could hope to deliver by airplane/helicopter. So really, this would just be providing cold (absorbing heat). Pound for pound (and weight is mostly what matters when flying), water is much more effective at absorbing heat than CO2 is. And we already drop water from the sky onto fires.
