Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. (“Bridger”), the aerial firefighting company, announced on 22 May that is has received two separate 120 day task orders from the US Forest Service, each for two of its CL-415EAF “Super Scooper” aircraft.
These procurements are noteworthy in that they were received early in the wildfire year and are for a record 120 days each.
Sam Davis, Bridger‘s Chief Executive Officer said: “These task orders recognize the Super Scoopers as one of the most effective tools in responding to wildfires as well as the Forest Service’s growing willingness to pre-position assets in order to more rapidly respond, helping to limit damage and better protect lives and property from this increasingly year-round threat.
“Securing these longer-term task orders also demonstrates the success of our strategy to have our fleet available and ready year-round to increase the visibility and predictability of our revenue.”
“Two Scoopers are currently operating on a Task Order in Minnesota. The next Scooper Task Order start date is pending. The last two Super Scoopers will remain on a “call when needed” basis.”
