Bucket Drop Incoming
This Blackhawk with a full bucket of water is working with Boise Helitack firefighters on the ground. If you look closely you can see the pilot looking down from the bubble window as he searches for the perfect drop zone. Pilots use radio communications with firefighters as well as visual cues to determine ideal bucket drop locations.
Boise Helitack is a 24-person Bureau of Land Management crew that operates with a Sikorsky UH-60 Helicopter.
Boise BLM Helitack performs suppression and support operations on initial attack, extended attack, and large fire support. They place a high degree of emphasis on professionalism and physical fitness.
They provide a versatile, service-oriented, low-maintenance, highly skilled initial attack program that can provide ICS overhead on emerging incidents, or effectively integrate into existing ones.
