Bridger Aerospace deploys fleet to combat Texas fires

Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings yesterday announced the deployment of two CL-415EAF Super Scooper aircraft to Texas to help tackle the ongoing wildfires. Its multi-mission aircraft are already supporting efforts to combat the blazes.

The deployment was the result of a task order from the US Forest Service at the request of the State of Texas.

Tim Sheehy, Chief Executive Officer of Bridger Aerospace, commented: “With our expertise and purpose-built aircraft, we are ready to support the citizens and firefighters on the ground across Texas as they battle to protect their communities. The size and expansion rate of the fires in Texas are catastrophic, and Bridger is working with state and local government partners to provide any available resources to combat these fires. We remain relentless in our pursuit of the latest technologies and aircraft to provide the most effective aerial firefighting solutions in the world.”
