Minnesota National Guard aviators train in St. Paul, Minn. on April 1st 2010 to fight wildfires. The Bambi Bucket Equipped UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter can repeatedly deliver up to 660 gallons of water, refilling at nearly any body of water. The aviators are on standby, ready should the Department of Natural Resources request assistance. This is a shift from the flood fight mission many were recently deployed on. Includes interview with 1st Lt. Jon Andrews, a Blackhawk Pilot with the 34th Combat Aviation Brigade. Photography by Staff Sgt. Ben Houtkooper.
