In a concerted effort to combat a raging forest fire on Cerro Yincu in San Pedro, Soloma, Huehuetenango, the Guatemalan Air Force dispatched a helicopter equipped with a Bambi Bucket system, delivering a total of 25 water drops, equivalent to over 6,000 gallons of water.

The ongoing forest fire, posing a significant threat to the local ecosystem and surrounding communities, prompted swift action from the Guatemalan military to contain and suppress the blaze. The deployment of the helicopter equipped with the specialized Bambi Bucket system underscores the importance of aerial firefighting resources in tackling wildfires effectively.
