Every forest and fire ecologist in the country would tell you that aggressive fire suppression just makes future wildfires worse.
However, #RapidInitialAttack does make the Fire Industrial Complex boatloads of money and Congress largely provides a blank (taxpayer-funded) check.
Fewer large wildfires = less $ spent putting them out = more $ available for #foresthealth initiatives = healthier #forests = fewer large #wildfires = less $ spent putting them out = more $ available for forest health initiatives... see where we're going here? #RapidInitialAttack

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
Did you know? There are 750+ airports and 85+ bodies of water that could support water-scooping #airtankers in #Florida?
Check out this interactive map: https://t.co/XS4DXktsub to see the opportunity for #rapidinitialattack in Florida, the greater Southeast, and Texas.
It was all smiles at the #FireBoss 101 Training and Familiarization Event we held in Wichita Falls, #Texas this March, in cooperation with the Texas A&M Forest Service.
We loved talking #RapidInitialAttack, Fire Boss tactics and more with this group! #fireseason2023
In May, we had the privilege of running drills with #Washington state firefighters to prepare for #WildfireSeason2023.
These drills focused on #RapidInitialAttack, a strategy that's helped WA keep 90% of wildfires under 10 acres in 6 of the past 7 years. https://t.co/PWQpmjnXRi
There's nothing better in the pre-season than performing #RapidInitialAttack on a simulated fire.
This year, dozens of Texas Forest Service #IncidentCommanders, a pump truck & dozers participated in simulated missions and debriefs with Dauntless pilots.
#wearedauntless
Also in the pre-season, we’ve worked with incident commanders on the ground from state forest services, giving both Dauntless and ICs practice in calling in aircraft and performing #RapidInitialAttack on a simulated fire drop zone. (3/4)

The @forestservice finally released the long awaited AFUE study (2013)...the findings should lead to positive changes in the way we utilize all of our aerial assets together to provide a more logical and effective response to the growing wildfire threat...#rapidinitialattack
.@forestservice has released the findings of its multi-year aerial firefighting study. The results should mean major changes to the US #wildfire response system. Read more about some top takeaways and big ideas generated from the report: https://t.co/jnsBQNVl86
This is a great comparison of tactics...Europe has been much quicker to embrace #rapidinitialattack...anyone living in a community impacted wildfires and the health impacts of smoke inhalation should read this...#CaliforniaWildfires #LNULightningcomplex

Hey #Florida, did you know there are 750+ airports and 85+ bodies of water that could support water-scooping #aerialfirefighting #airtankers in the region? https://t.co/XS4DXktsub Zoom in on the map to see the opportunity for #rapidinitialattack against #wildfires
With the heat being what it is this coming weekend, best to have a few of these around to keep small fires small...#wildfire #californiafires #californiafires2020 #smallbutmighty #rapidinitialattack

These are the building blocks to keep small fires from becoming large and devastating #megafires there is a lot of fire season left, we can help reduce the probability of a fire making the national news...#AppleFire #California #californiawildfire #wildfires #rapidinitialattack
Wildfires are burning hotter and faster than they were 30 years ago. To win the war against them, the US needs Rapid Initial Attack. Not sure what that is? We can help explain. (1/7)
Happy to be there for the @waDNR_fire....@DauntlessAir is proud to support you guys in protecting the state! #rapidinitialattack
Around the world, we’re seeing more and more need for #RapidInitialAttack against #wildfires. Fast and efficient rapid initial attack helps to keep fires small and associated smoke emissions low.
Intense wildfires in the Arctic have released more polluting gases into the Earth’s atmosphere in the last month than any other fires in 18 years of data collection, European scientists said in a report Tuesday https://t.co/kdD0yxCBBE
Time to take a military approach to fighting wildfires...lead with smaller, less costly Exclusive Use contracted Fire Bosses, wheeled SEATs and type 3 helos. Only way to not break the bank and still be effective #rapidinitialattack #californiawildfires #megafire #wildfires
Integrating air and ground operations for prompt initial attack on wildfires https://t.co/CtMauq4tWo
Thanks for the retweet @firefaqs - they are built to make sure that a named fire never receives national recognition!! @CAL_FIRE doesn’t use them yet, but we’re hoping to change that soon! #rapidinitialattack #rapidresponse #wildfires
Very impressive. Unique formation flying. I can just imagine a squadron of these aircraft making an initial attack on a wildfire in mountainous terrain. #FireBoss #AirTankers
Great to see the @FireBossLLC in action!!! They are little beauties that can deliver enormous amounts of water on a fire at 1/8th the cost of the biggies...#keepasmallfiresmall, #rapidinitialattack, #wildfires, #californiawildfires
