Firefighting Helicopter Stationed Beside a Reservoir Dam
A specialized firefighting helicopter sits in a service zone directly next to a concrete dam facility. The aircraft is equipped with a large flexible water bucket suspended below and a heavy-duty intake hose coiled on the ground.
Aerial Firefighting Operations at Water Dams
Helitankers and bucket-equipped helicopters use nearby lakes and dam reservoirs to refill their water supplies rapidly during emergency operations. The large collapsible bucket, often called a Bambi bucket, drops into open water to collect hundreds of gallons in seconds. Operating near dams gives flight crews continuous access to abundant water sources for extinguishing forest fires.
