Market Expands For Fire Boss In The United States

New Operator Adds A802 SEAT Aircraft

Fire Boss LLC has announced the purchase of a new Fire Boss by AirPro Aviation.

“This company in Arkansas has established itself with use of three A802 SEAT (Single Engine Air Tanker) aircraft. Upon receiving delivery in December of 2020, they will be the 3rd Fire Boss operator in the United States and the 20th Fire Boss based in the country. This confirms we are beyond the early adoption phase of our product.

“Word is out that the Fire Boss is a proven, cost-effective aerial firefighter” says Stephen Johnson, Global Sales Director for Fire Boss.

“This addition expands our ability to acquire contracts previously closed to our type of operation. We are already receiving inquires for the upcoming fire season. After what we have seen in Australia using the Fire Boss, its obvious initial attack is the future of effective aerial firefighting” adds Steve Landers, President of AirPro Aviation.

“And with growing concerns of the safety of the ground firefighters, the Fire Boss has shown it’s vital role in providing aerial support.”
