Air Spray owns and operates a fleet of L188 Lockheed Electra and the BAE 146 Next Generation Airtankers for land-based fire suppression. These aircraft are strategically based at airtanker bases where they are available to fight nearby wildfires. They drop retardant to extinguish small fires or hot spots or build lines to keep the fire at bay.

Air Spray operates a fleet of CL215, 215T and 415 amphibious scoopers or "water bombers" on behalf of government agencies. These aircraft are based near lakes where they can scoop water to drop on nearby fires. If needed, they can also scoop from large rivers. Often, foam is added to the water to increase suppression effectiveness.

Air Spray supplies Twin Commander 690 or Commander 1000 air attack or "birddog" aircraft to aid in the fire control efforts. The personnel in these aircraft direct fire control activities, often within a busy airspace. Consequently, these aircraft are critical for both fire control effectiveness and the safety of wildfire operations.
