What is bambi buckets?

Bambi buckets are a type of firefighting equipment used to extinguish wildfires from the air. These buckets are essentially giant bags of water that can be suspended from a helicopter and dropped onto the flames. The term "Bambi" comes from the Disney movie of the same name, in which the young deer character is rescued from a forest blaze by a team of firefighters using a similar type of bucket. Bambi buckets typically range in size from 72 to 2,600 gallons and are made from durable, fire-resistant materials. They are an important tool in the fight against wildfires, particularly in remote or difficult-to-reach areas where traditional ground-based firefighting methods are impractical.
