Dauntless Air

Going above and beyond in these ways is part of what makes us Dauntless. And our partners know it’s core to how we arrive on day-1 as a reliable, effective & precise part of our joint mission. See you out there 💪 #fireseason2026 #wildfires #wildlandfirefighting 📸Sheri Hemrick

➡️Extra courses and real-world training scenarios were added on top of required recurrent training ➡️ Every operation was a coordinated effort between our pilots, mechanics and SSVOs – both new and returning #fireaviation👇

“Mission ready on day 1” is part of why our annual training always goes beyond industry standards. This year was no different: ➡️140+ flight hrs logged, including time in our two-seater, so all pilots, from our newest to most experienced, trained with our Instructor Pilots 👇

Bottomline: SSVOs are a vital part of our aerial firefighting operations, and this new carding system and our recurrent training helps us ensure that each one of them is ready for any situation, base or contract that comes their way. 💪(4/4) #wildfires

SSVOs transport our trucks and trailers thousands of miles across the country every season. They’re responsible for each Fire Boss's fueling and decontamination system, and they manage the trailers that carry fuel, gel suppressants and critical parts and tools. (3/4) #FireBoss

This month in Idaho, our senior Seat Support Vehicle Operators (SSVOs)–formerly called Crew Chiefs–gathered for recurrent annual training, but this year was different. We introduced a new internal carding system specifically for them. (1/4)🧵#wildlandfirefighting
