A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter with U.S. Army Aviation of the Puerto Rico National Guard, releases the bambi bucket water over a hill of Salinas during an aerial firefighting training at Camp Santiago Joint Training Center, Salinas Feb 20, 2025. During the dry season, National Guard helicopter crews are regularly called on to support aerial firefighting missions in Puerto Rico and need to maintain their skill in flying with the bucket, as well as their ability to fill it with water and release it onto a specific target with accuracy. The Bambi bucket is a specialized bucket suspended on a cable from an aircraft that is capable of releasing up to 780 gallons of water.
