ABSTRACT:
A portable fire-fighting container is comprised of a box with a top opening and compartments on its sides. A liquid receptacle is positioned inside the box under the top opening thereof. An interior liner is positioned inside the liquid receptacle. An open top of the liquid receptacle is covered with a removable lid. Sling attachments arranged around the box enable the container to be airlifted by a helicopter. The lid is removed and positioned vertically on top of the box to provide directional stability in flight. When placed at a fire location, leveling jacks around the box provide stability on uneven ground. Trapezoidal frames are hinged along the edges of the top opening of the box. The frames are pivoted upward and supported at an acute angle by braces extending between the frames and the top of the box, thus forming an inverted truncated pyramid. An extendible top portion of the interior liner in the liquid receptacle is pulled out from the top opening of the box and wrapped around the top edges of the frames, thus forming a funnel for receiving liquid dropped from aircraft. Pumping equipment and hoses received in the compartments in the box deliver the liquid for fighting fire.
