About Bridger Aerospace and IGNIS Technologies 

Bridger Aerospace is an aerial firefighting company based in Belgrade, Montana, located at the Bozeman Yellowstone Airport (KBZN). It was founded in 2014 to support front-line firefighters with world-leading technology and aerial fire suppression systems. Bridger is a leader in fighting wildfires, specializing in Air Attack, Fire Suppression, and Firefighting technologies.

At IGNIS, our mission is to provide emergency and land management organizations with innovative technology that drives informed decision-making and operational safety. IGNIS was founded out of a personal need for more practical systems to communicate, distribute, and view intelligence on wildland fires. As fires in the United States become increasingly more severe, deadly, and difficult to manage, firefighters and their organizations require new tools to remain effective and safe. We are developing a revolutionary digital operating environment to empower our customers to achieve our mission. Headquartered in Belgrade, Montana, we are expanding our team and seeking to partner with passionate individuals motivated to build technology that solves critical, real-world problems.
