The Fire Boss - A New Kind of Float
Wipaire’s family of brands includes Fire Boss, a single engine scooper tanker used in aerial firefighting. Development started as a collaboration with the Province of Ontario to create a water bomber based on the Twin Otter aircraft. As it evolved, the Fire Boss float design was changed to fit the turbine Air Tractor 802. Over 200 Fire Boss operate worldwide. To see how it works, click here.
