A great test run from in BC, Canada 🇨🇦 putting the new CB1000M-HS Cloudburst Fire Bucket through its paces ahead of the Northern Hemisphere’s fire season. 🚁

Big thanks to Peggy from for helping get everything up and running smoothly.

Here’s an awesome clip of using a Cloudburst Fire Bucket fitted with a Swath Plate. The Swath Plate helps disperse the column into a wider pattern. This is a great accessory to have when dealing with less dense fires, or grass fires.

Thanks to for the awesome footage.

If you also have photos or videos of your Cloudburst that you’d like to share, please reach out to feature on our instagram.

More than just a fire bucket 🔥

Last month, .newzealand put one of our Cloudburst Fire Buckets to Work, Slucing around Mt Maunganui, helping stabilise landslides, to make it safe for ground crews to move in.

With our Monsoon Multi-Drop Valve, pilots have options. Whether Dropping Just a few hundred litres on a targeted area, or releasing the full load, the Monsoon Valve gives operators greater versatility, allowing for more efficient use of water.
