Air Med & Rescue: Provider Profile

Air Med & Rescue Magazine profiled Aero-Flite in their recent aerial firefighting edition, featuring the company’s diverse fleet, advanced training, and plans for expansion in order to support wildfire agencies across the US.

“We have fought fires in nearly every state in our 60-year history,” shared General Manager, Chris Niemann. “But exclusive-use contracts are becoming more prevalent as state agencies work to secure air assets so that when wildfires erupt in their region, they have assets readily available to deploy.”

He added that: “With the increase in wildfire behavior, including longer seasons and more volatile and larger blazes, regions can’t always rely on shared resources like they could in the past.
