Hey Gordy
Hope all well mate. Very sad to hear the loss in Arizona, RIP guys.

We just picked up a couple new B3's this last winter along with all ops gear. Came with the AFS Fast bucket....nice. Liking the multiple drop...no more cinching your bucket, just fill her up, if too heavy just hit the button and let a little out at a time till you can get out of the pond. Easy to pack up also and packs a lot smaller than a Bambi. Fits in basket nicely.

Slow start in Canada but things ramping up, forecasting + 30's where I am new starts today.
Be safe and have a good fire season.
