Forgot to ask, what's the capacity for the bucket?

Roughly 350lbs but it depends on the type of host vehicle and other options.

350 isn't enough to effect a rescue. I suppose it's a usable amount, but I don't feel comfortable without being able to put a firefighter and a civilian in there.

350 isn't enough to carry half the volunteers i know...
