🛩️4 contracted water scoopers are ready to support wildfire suppression around AK for the #2026AlaskaFireSeason! Based at Fort Wainwright, these AT-802Fs scoop 800 gal in 15 sec. If you see them skimming lakes, give them space so they can safely return to the fire.

This legislation might have been the most productive produced in the last two decades with regards to what it MIGHT do to advance the fight against #wildfires and #megafires…many thanks @SenatorRomney!

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

The bipartisan infrastructure bill is continuing to help Utah communities like @MillcreekUT strengthen its wildfire resilience efforts. Met with Millcreek Mayor Silvestrini and local leaders to discuss these efforts, especially critical after the Neff’s Canyon wildfire in 2020.

[Brett LEsperance @Bjlesperance]

So proud of the @DauntlessAir team and what we accomplished over the last 10 days - our largest and best training yet with our customers and suppliers are part of the action! Additionally we raised over $30k for the @wffoundation and the @ushotshots!

[Dauntless Air @DauntlessAir]

Flight time and sorties (mission-like scenarios) are a critical part of our pre-season training regimen.

Between last week and this week, our #pilots will fly upwards of 140 hours, so we’re sure to be safer, smarter and more effective on day-1 of #wildfire season. #fireboss

We had 2 great #FireBoss 101 classes w/ the Louisiana Dept of Agriculture & Forestry. LDAF personnel, local fire depts, law enforcement, landowners & community leaders came together to learn more about #aerialfirefighting, Fire Bosses & air-to-ground communication best practices!

[Dauntless Air @DauntlessAir]

With a #fleet of rapid initial attack #aircraft like the #FireBoss, #wildlandfirefighting agencies can increase tank capacity and tactical flexibility while saving on operating costs.

[Dauntless Air @DauntlessAir]

With a coordinated group of 2 to 8 Fire Bosses, fire agencies can increase tank capacity and tactical flexibility while saving on overall operating costs. It’s a strategy at work in states like Washington, Idaho and Texas. Who’s next? #rapidinitialattack #aerialfirefighting

[Dauntless Air @DauntlessAir]

We're thrilled to be onsite at #NAAA2023! If you're at the #AgAviationExpo and interested in learning more about our fleet and team, stop by our booth #271 (by the Support Fundraising & Silent Auction table) on Wed at 2pm to meet our Senior Management Team and some key personnel!

[Dauntless Air @DauntlessAir]

From everyone at Dauntless, we wish you a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, gratitude and cherished moments with loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving!

When fire is the mission, it takes many skilled hands to get the job done. Cheers to our crew chiefs and mechanics on a solid 2023 season. #aerialfirefighting #fireaviation

[Dauntless Air @DauntlessAir]

Last Saturday and every day, we honor the brave people who have served our nation. Your dedication, sacrifice and courage inspire us to no end. Thank you. #VeteransDay

[Dauntless Air @DauntlessAir]

Crew chief or crew chef?

Eating out can get old when you spend months at a time away from home, so our folks cook as much as they can! Here's a highlight from #fireseason2023: Chicken & beef hibachi style with fried rice!

We're a team of many talents🧑‍🍳#wearedauntless

As a Fire Boss operator, we work in close coordination with helicopters, fixed wing tankers and ground crews to keep communities safe from wildfire destruction. #aerialfire #aviationdaily

#Hotshot is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, AppleTV, and Google Play!
If you’re sick of Hollywood, this is the antidote. It’s the most independent film you’ll ever see. The Chicago Tribune saw it and called it “astonishing”. Check the hype and watch now!

@HotshotWake @ForestMaven Think 9.27 is the next expected report date

Powered by @prattandwhitney’s PT6A-67F turboprop engine, Dauntless Air Fire Bosses can haul up to 800 gallons of water while maneuvering in high and hot environments and mountainous terrains.
