Did anybody know more about the origin if the name "Bambi Bucket"? It´s possible, that it was named after the Disney´s Movie "Bambi", in wich a infernal forst fire plays a central role, but i am not sure. (Please pardon my poor english :-)

[edit] Date of invention

The original article mentions 1983 for the year of this invention, but my helicopter fire crew was using similar things, and calling them "bambi buckets", back in the 70s (flexible plastic sides, plunger release in bottom). This would, as a minimum, limit the U.S. enforcement of the trademark by SEI Industries, but could also mean this article needs information on (or references to) additional helicopter-bucket designs under the generic terminology.
