Our mission is to deploy the most advanced technologies in aviation to protect lives, property, critical infrastructure, and the environment, delivering these capabilities where they are needed most, from wildfire response to defense and beyond.
Through innovation and the use of advanced technology and software, focusing on aerial firefighting, disaster response, government applications and public safety, Bridger aims to set the global standard in aviation services.
Bridger was founded in 2014 in Bozeman, Montana by Tim Sheehy, former U.S.
Sheehy, who served as the Company s initial Chief Executive Officer, envisioned applying advanced aviation technologies and combat-derived capabilities developed in military operations to combat wildfires.
Since its founding, Bridger has built upon this foundation and is expanding its specialized aerial capabilities beyond traditional wildfire suppression to include mission-adjacent services for governmental and commercial customers.
The current Chief Executive Officer, Sam Davis, was one of the original members of the Bridger leadership team.
Davis rose through the ranks, contributing to the expansion of the fleet from a small number of legacy aircraft to its current scale and the broadening of the Company s service offerings.
Davis was appointed Chief Executive Officer by unanimous Board of Directors vote based on his successful leadership as Interim CEO.
Davis s stewardship, and with the support of a strong leadership team, the Company continues to pave the way as a full-spectrum aerial service provider in the field of aerial wildfire management, offering technology and services to provide front-line firefighters and incident commanders with critical fire data, overhead surveillance, and suppression support.

According to an article on Climate Change Indicators by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, multiple studies have found that climate change has already led to an increase in wildfire season length, wildfire frequency and burned area, climate change threatens to increase the frequency, extent and severity of fires through increased temperatures and drought and wildfires release a significant amount of carbon emissions each year.
The areas in which human development meets or intermingles with undeveloped wildland and vegetative fuels that are both fire-dependent and fire-prone ( wildland-urban interface or WUI ) have grown by more than 179,000 square kilometers in the U.S.
from 1990 to 2020, according to a 2023 article by the United States Forest Service (the USFS and, such article, the USFS WUI Increase Article ).
