Bridger Aerospace

Scoopers 282 and 285 are now stationed in College Station, TX, ready to assist ground crews with late-season #wildfires. Pre-positioning these aircraft means faster response times, increasing the ability to tackle fires while they're still small and contain them early-on. #aerialfirefighting #wildlandfire #texas #collegestation #aviation

Safety is at the core of our mission. Scooping water from busy lakes during summer demands skill and careful coordination to avoid watercraft. Often, local Sheriffs or Rangers help clear the area for firefighting aircraft. During the Alexander Mountain Fire in Colorado, the Larimer County Rangers stepped in and cleared the lake so our Scooper team could operate more effectively. Our primary goal is to support the ground crews working on the front lines, and having a clear scooping lane makes it much safer to provide that overhead support.

🚨The US went back to Wildfire Preparedness Level 5🚨 When we hit Preparedness Level 5, we're federally at MAXIMUM commitment of firefighting resources. Yesterday, Scoopers 281 and 284 left for Bridger's first mission in North Dakota and are supporting the crews on the Bear Den Fire. To everyone involved, from the front lines to support roles: Stay safe! Resources are stretched thin, and your hard work is critical. #aerialfirefighting #northdakota #wildfire #fireseason

The Elk Fire in northern Wyoming has grown rapidly over the past week. It was caused by lightning on Sept. 27th and has now reached nearly 50,000 acres. Our Multi-Mission aircraft have been actively assisting with the firefighting efforts. To all the crews working tirelessly to contain this fire, stay safe out there! #ElkFire #AerialFirefighting #WildfireSeason #aviation #wyoming

Many things happen before the aircraft dispatches for a firefighting mission—whether it's a Scooper dropping water on a wildfire, an air attack providing aerial coordination, or sending up the MMA to deliver critical aerial maps to firefighters on the ground. Behind the scenes, a full team is working to support the mission. Every flight is the result of meticulous planning, training, and maintenance coming together in the off-season, so when our crews head into the field for the summer, we put forward the best possible aircraft and crew to protect communities and save lives. #AerialFirefighting #Teamwork #MissionReady #Wildfire

According to Bloomberg Super Scoopers are "the world's most desperately needed airplane." With wildfires growing more frequent and intense, rapid initial attack is critical. Super Scoopers can stay on the fire for hours, dropping water in rapid succession, making them an ideal firefighting tool. We’re proud to operate the largest private Super Scooper fleet, providing crucial air support to ground crews battling these fires. #AerialFirefighting #Aviation #Bloomberg
