With hundreds of wildfires burning across Canada, pilots are trying to extinguish some of the flames by using an aircraft called the Super Scooper.
Produced by Bridger Aerospace, the Super Scooper is an enhanced aerial firefighting aircraft that can scoop more than 1,400 gallons of water per day to drop onto fires.
The Super Scooper is the only purpose-built firefighting aircraft in history, according to Bridger Aerospace CEO and pilot Tim Sheehy.
“It was designed, produced, manufactured for one purpose and one purpose only, and that’s to fight wildfires,” he said.
