CPT Rick Dominy, CW2 Mike Jones, SFC Larson and SP6 Willie Salter try out our first 2000-gallon SIMMS water bucket used to fight wildfires. It was SIMMS' first bucket this size. Notice how much the blades cone. Drain plugs were removed to reduce the weight since we could not lift a full bucket. We are lifting a little over 5 tons of saltwater.  Photo by Bill Brubaker, KOMO News 4
