The Cloudburst Fire Bucket is built to perform when it's under the helicopter, but its advantages begin long before the first drop.

This Multi-Drop Cloudburst Fire Bucket has been designed to fit neatly inside the gunner well of Bell medium helicopters, making transport between jobs simpler, easier, and more practical.

With no valuable cabin space taken up and no additional transport vehicle required, the bucket can simply be loaded into the aircraft's gunner well and flown wherever it's needed.

When every hour counts during fire season, reducing setup time and simplifying deployment can make all the difference.

A big thank you to for sharing this great photo of their Bell 205 with the Cloudburst packed and ready for its next mission.
