An Alaska Army National Guard UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter assigned to the 207th Aviation Troop Command, conducts a Bambi Bucket water drop while fighting the Nelchina Glacier fire near Eureka Roadhouse, Alaska, June 22, 2025. Working with the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection, the AKARNG provided two Black Hawks, each equipped with a Bambi Bucket, to augment the fire suppression efforts. Each bucket drop delivers up to 700 gallons of water, giving ground crews the ability to cool the fire’s edge and reduce spread. Targeted water drops also reduce areas of intense heat and create safer conditions for firefighters on the ground. (Alaska National Guard photo by Alejandro Peña)
