Annual Scooper training is coming to a close. Over the past few weeks, our scooper crews have been in Kingman, AZ honing their aerial firefighting skills and running simulated Fire Traffic Area (FTA) communications. #aerialfirefighting #superscooper #aviation

Scoopers are on scene. On Friday, our Scooper teams were rapidly dispatched to support firefighting efforts in #Minnesota. #camphousefire #jenkinscreekfire #superscooper #aerialfirefighting

Our Scoopers have dropped over 240,000 gallons in two days. The Jenkins Creek Fire and Camp House Fire have grown substantially due to high winds and extremely dry conditions. #aerialfirefighting #wildfire #minnesotafire

Our Scooper crews are continuing to support the firefighting effort in Minnesota, providing air cover and helping protect lives and property. And no, we don't pick up fish when we scoop, otherwise we'd have to charge the firefighters a catering fee. #aerialfirefighting #fire

Many of our team members call Canada home, where massive wildfires are displacing communities. Our Scoopers haven’t been dispatched, but if the call comes, we have aircraft available and ready to fly. #aerialfirefighting #wildfire #manitoba #saskatchewan
