5000 liters weighs 5 tonnes.For comparison the Skycrane tank is 10,000 liters or 10 tonnes of water.1000 liters in volume is one cubed meter of water.Not many choppers lift more than 5000 liters.

DEFINITELY

Looks like this bucket would work fine..

Actually the French are correct. Assuming that a large fire bucket (Bambi Bucket) is used - say a 2,000 gallon bucket: that’s 16,000 POUNDS of water being dumped in a very small area. This is approximately the weight of a partially loaded UPS delivery truck being moved with every bucket. Then consider that Notre Dame is nearly 1,000 years old, and no one knows the formulation of the mortar used in its construction or how the building loads are distributed or the strength of its foundation - that’s a LOT of unknowns to be dumping massive amounts of weight on top of. Then consider that Notre Dame is in the middle of a city, so navigating helicopters carrying heavy weights in the confines of a city will put the aircraft AND people on the ground in massive danger of a crash. Consider that Trump is a politician, what does he know about firefighting or engineering? It’s easy (and dangerous) for him to say anything without backing his statements up with facts or experience. There are millions of professions in the world because no one person has the knowledge or skills to solve every problem that crops up, so Trump needs to leave the professionals to do their jobs, instead of running his mouth in typical American fashion.

It's frequently used in the early stages of a fire, like an ember from the main fire jumped a fire break and started a spot fire. A dump of water can put it out or cool/slow it down so ground crews can finish the rest. Maybe help ground crews protect an area like a home or sensitive habitat. Cool the fire down enough that ground crews can safely work in an area. I've also seen it where a ground crew go trapped on a ridge and was about to get over run by the fire. Bucket of water directly over them gives them a safe zone to hide in their survival shelters.

I’m sure it can get the middle of the fire so the firefighters can work on the outside. Perhaps allow them to rest

Not much, three choppers deployed here for a wild fire, about 10 sqkm area of forest have been razed down.

Cliff Tavares if your country suddenly switched to the American system, then everyone would have to be taught it because a lot of people don't know what kilometers per hour is compared with miles per hour. That's why America has slowly been switching

Kruct I understand what you're saying, but the transition from imperial to the metric system can be made very smoothly. Worst case scenario would take 10 years. Starting at schools teaching kids both systems to start with, so they can have a way of comparing but as the years go by slowly ditching the imperial system completely. Eventually America will will have to adopt the metric as they're default system in the future, not only for compatibility but also business wise with the rest of the world. This is actually already happening, many US companies that do business outside of the US already adopted the metric system as their default. Many countries have already switched from imperial to metric in the past. For example when the euros were introduced in Europe it was a very quick and smooth transition thanks to the the nice transition system they put together. Look it up on the internet to learn more about how they made the transition from old money to euros in all the different countries. It will happen eventually, it's just a matter of time.

This is a Canadian video, not American.

+aussiefirie It's all the same dude, Canadians are the new modern Americans, or vice versa, can't really remember at this point, too much weed today. lol But one of them is right for sure, of that I'm certain! lol

aussiefirie America is a continent not a country from Canada to Chile is America

"she fell flat" I thought Bambi was male

@@thecashmaker1994 Well fuck you for assuming genders eh

Bambi, a male, escaped a fire by jumping in a lake. A little fireman trivia. Here's the scene. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXeWmn5pp6-InLc

Your wrong it's called Bambi because one of the first pilots to use it killed a deer when refilling and the sick joke stuck.
