n.— Note: Appears to be a trade name. «Inter-Island employees…helped firefighters attach to the chopper a 144-gallon Bambi Bucket, which hangs suspended from the aircraft after it lifts off.…D’Attilio hovered over the fire department’s new 2,500-gallon portable water tank and dipped the bucket into the pool. He then flew 20 yards to the corner of the parking lot and dispensed the 1,200 pounds of water in a matter of seconds on a small sign set up in a parking space for the purpose of the demonstration.» —“Rescue interrupts fire, water demo” by Nathan Eagle Garden Island (Kauai, Hawaii) Oct. 7, 2007.
