Built to Keep You Flying

No Adjustments. Simple Maintenance. Proven Reliability. Trusted Support.

The Cascade Aerial Firefighting Bucket is designed for efficient aerial fire attack, meeting industry-driven performance standards while requiring no adjustments for continued fire operations. Built for simplicity and reliability, the Cascade bucket helps crews stay focused on flying the aircraft and supports mission success when every second counts.

Simple by design and fast where it matters most, the Cascade Bucket delivers rapid response, with water exiting the bucket in less than half a second from button actuation in the aircraft. This helps crews get water on target quickly, improving responsiveness and confidence during critical operations.

Multi-drop functionality comes standard. Stable flight characteristics and predictable handling allow crews to fly with confidence, even in demanding conditions. Fast, straightforward dip-fill capability requires no special techniques, reducing pilot workload and significantly shortening turnaround times between drops.

For operators needing shallow water power-fill capability, the Cascade bucket offers the industry’s most reliable and fastest-filling refill pump options in 400Hz or 28VDC configurations. These proven systems deliver rapid fill rates of 1,100 or 1,600 U.S. gallons per minute, minimizing time on the water and maximizing time on the fire.

At Kawak, we believe the best products are built alongside the operators who use them. That’s why we continue to listen closely to customer feedback and make ongoing improvements to the Cascade bucket based on real-world firefighting experience. From performance refinements to operational usability, we are committed to evolving the bucket to better serve the crews who rely on it.

The Cascade bucket’s collapsible, compact design simplifies transport, storage, and deployment while maintaining the durability required for sustained firefighting operations. Built for the realities of the fire line and backed by Kawak’s trusted support, the Cascade bucket is relied upon by aerial firefighting professionals around the world.

Simple by design. Proven in service. Built to evolve. Ready when it matters most.
