Indian Air Force helicopter equipped with Bambi Bucket was deployed on April 26 to douse forest fire in Lunglei district.
The fire reportedly started at 7 am on Apr 23 in the forested hills near Lunglei town.
So far, no injuries or casualties have been reported.
The Indian Air Force deployed its MI 17 V5 helicopter on Saturday (April 27) to combat the forest fires ravaging the Nainital district in Uttarakhand, as confirmed by the stateβs Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami. Utilising a "Bambi Bucket," the helicopter retrieved water from Bhimtal Lake, situated near Nainital, and discharged it onto the flames engulfing the forests. Here's an insight into the Bambi Bucket and its inception.
