The sharing of a part of a phrase in the former clause
The Global Positioning System can pinpoint the exact locating and size of a fire, and sophisticated aircraft assist in tracking and dropping fire-retardant chemicals and water on the fire form the sky.

I heard a sophisticated helper say I could share a part of a phrase in the former clause with the latter.
So I'd like to know if "tracking" shares as an object "fire" of "size of a fire" in the former clause.
Thank you in advance for your help.

As I said, I don't know the writer's precise meaning.
In terms of grammar it's unclear what is being tracked. It would be slightly clearer if written with commas.
ie The Global Positioning System can pinpoint the exact location and size of a fire, and sophisticated aircraft assist in
