For better or worse, fighting fires is big business. This week, we speak with Tim Sheehy, Founder and CEO of Bridger Aerospace (NASDAQ:BAER).
Bridger operates a fleet of firefighting airplanes and support vehicles in the Western United States and it closed a combination with Jack Creek Investment Corporation on January 25th.
Tim explains how this age-old business is built on steady government contracts, but its needs and sophistication are growing and why its SPAC merger gives Bridger some unique opportunities for consolidation in a space that has been structurally resistant to such changes.
Give it a listen.
