When you're in the business of putting out fires, the Fire Boss is all you need

“The Fire Boss performed very well for me this summer! I personally endorse contracting a group of four (4) Fire Boss aircraft for the Cariboo region”
Jeff Austin, Air Attack Officer
British Columbia Forest Service, Williams Lake
“The Fire Boss worked very well and was a pleasure to fly.”
Tim Garrish, Air Tractor 802/Fire Boss Pilot
Conair Aviation
Abbotsford, British Columbia

“The Fire Boss worked very well when grouped with 2 land-based 802’s. It would arrive last from base with a load of mud. This worked out great because it gave the 802’s time to enter the circuit, drop their mud loads, and head back to base for a reload. The Fire Boss would drop its mud load and then stay on sight as a scooper.”
Leigh Barratt, Air Attack Officer, Marketing/Training
British Columbia Forest Service, Kamloops
“The Fire Boss out-performed all helicopter models in terms of water volume delivered and cost per litre.”
Paul Buxton-Carr, Air attack Officer
British Columbia Forest Service, Salmon Arm

“The Fire Boss’s dual-role capacity of being able to carry retardant from airports or scoop water/foam from lakes proved very valuable in Spain this summer. I’ve ordered four more Fire Bosses for next year!”
Vicente Huerta
President/Owner, Avialsa
Valencia, Spain
