What this company does

Bridger provides aerial wildfire surveillance, relief and suppression, and aerial firefighting services primarily throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2025, the company had a team of 235 employees headquartered in Belgrade, Montana. The company operates an aircraft fleet of nineteen planes. Its portfolio is organized across three core offerings: Fire Suppression, Aerial Surveillance, and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul. In fire suppression, the company operates Super Scooper amphibious aircraft that drop high volumes of water directly onto active wildfires, complementing traditional ground-based suppression efforts. Its aerial surveillance services use Air Attack aircraft and sensor-enhanced manned aircraft for early detection, perimeter mapping, real-time video downlink, and command and control. In maintenance, repair and overhaul, the company provides return-to-service upgrades of the Spanish Scoopers, along with aerospace engineering services including operations support, aircraft modification, and airworthiness certification for manned and unmanned, rotary- and fixed-wing platforms. Bridger was founded in 2014 in Bozeman, Montana, by Tim Sheehy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer and current United States Senator.
