An intake, storage, and distribution system for providing firefighting and liquid disbursement intake and distribution to a helicopter. The tank is constructed to slide or be positioned into a passenger compartment of a helicopter. In a preferred embodiment, the water tank has an external snorkel hose equipped with a pump for loading of the water into the tank. The snorkel hose is preferably configured to be connected to the frame of the aircraft to support the weight of the snorkel. This is of assistance, for example, when a helicopter is hovering above a liquid source and uptaking liquid through the snorkel hose or tube.
