The Bambi Bucket® is a proven, helicopter-borne integrated firefighting system in service worldwide. Lightweight, tough and easily stowed, the Bambi Bucket has proven itself as the most powerful and effective weapon for aerial fire suppression work. This foam compatible bucket system includes an outward opening dump valve which allows a solid column of water or foam to be dropped on targets with absolute precision.

A helicopter with a Bambi Bucket is an efficient, independent fire-fighting vehicle. It creates the opportunity to put more water on the fire than any other system, at less cost.
