Rugged and lightweight, this multi-purpose tank shines in every arena. Whether it’s used for ground fire-fighting, for aerial operations or as a reservoir/ relay tank, the self-supporting Pumpkin Tank gets the job done. 

Built with knowledge of what works in the field, the water in this tank is deep enough to yield full Bambi Bucket  dips every time. When access to natural water supply is limited, the Pumpkin Tank can step in – whatever the  application.

Features
• Extra-large open top for easy helicopter bucket filling;
• Unique flotation collar design with no manual inflation required;
• Flotation collar hugs the water surface ensuring no overflow;
• Self-supporting with foam collar that resists ‘sinking’;
• Compact and simple to use, no frame or parts to assemble;
• Rugged industrial fabric that is mold- and mildew-resistant;
• Multi-point tie down system for protection from rotor wash;

• Models/sizes available to suit all helicopter buckets; and
• Portable, compact size can be used in remote areas

Ground Application 
In ground operations, firefighters can use the Pumpkin Tank as an emergency water reservoir or as a readily 
available water source during prescribed burning. The self-supporting Pumpkin Tank is easy to fill using nearby 
water sources and, in remote areas, the Pumpkin Tank can be filled by pumping water in from natural sources such 
as streams and lakes or via helicopters using Bambi Buckets.

Aerial Application 
When access to water supply is otherwise limited, pilots that are heli-bucketing can quickly fill their buckets from a Pumpkin Tank and proceed to the fire site. The Pumpkin Tank can be replenished with water while the pilot ferries between the water source and the fire site, thereby maximizing valuable helicopter time

Options
