I remember, about in the '80s, seeing a bambi bucket moving through N Sydney skies. In the distance
the horizon, over miles, was a bright red. I remember thinking how unsteadying the bucket would be.

Video by Senior Master Sgt. John Rohrer 140th Wing Public Affairs
This video is a unique angle of a Blackhawk helicopter delivering water to a fire using a bambi bucket. When the helicopter is in position, the crew releases the water to extinguish or suppress the fire below. The shots consist of a take off from the staging field, dips from a nearby pond to get water and several drops on two different fire locations. This action takes place in the High Park Fire to try to mitigate spot fires in the area west of Fort Collins, Colorado.

respective summers. They have worked well together. Now we have terrible fire trouble at the same time.

Good to know global warming is only a Chinese initiated hoax.
