Fire FightingFitted with the versatile Bambi bucket our helicopters make a very effective way to fight forest and moorland fires. 'The Bambi Bucket' is a proven, helicopter-borne integrated firefighting system in service worldwide in over 95 countries. Lightweight, tough and easily stowed, this foam compatible bucket system includes an outward opening dump valve which allows a solid column of water or foam to be placed on targets with absolute precision. The buckets can be filled from loch's, lakes and ponds or our 'Big Dipper', a portable filling system where fire retardants can be added to the water. 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 a lesser cost, allowing operators to suppress the fire before it is out of control. PDG are the UK's specialist aerial fire fighting facility. |
