On behalf of Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Wildfire New PubCo, Inc.) (the "<u>Company</u>"), this letter sets forth the responses of the Company to the comments set forth in the comment letter of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Staff</u>") dated February 7, 2023 (the "<u>Comment Letter</u>") relating to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on January 30, 2023 (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>"). The Company has also revised the Registration Statement in response to the Staff's comments and, concurrently with delivery of this letter, publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement ("<u>Amendment No.</u> <u>1</u>"), which reflects these revisions and generally updates certain information in the Registration Statement.

To assist your review, set forth below in bold are the comments of the Staff contained in the Comment Letter and immediately below each comment is the response of the Company with respect thereto or a statement identifying the location in Amendment No. 1 of the requested disclosure or revised disclosure. For the convenience of the Staff's review, each of the numbered paragraphs below corresponds to the numbered comment in the Staff's Comment Letter.

**<u>Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed January 30, 2023</u>**

**<u>Cover Page</u>**

1. **Please revise your disclosure to clarify that the sponsor holds the 115,000 note shares to be registered for resale. Additionally, we note that you are also registering for resale "up to 2,488,189 shares of Common Stock . . . that were originally issued in a private placement to JCIC Sponsor," thereby indicating that the total number of shares currently held by your sponsor would be 2,603,189 shares. Please revise to reconcile with your disclosure on page 131 stating that the sponsor owns and may sell up to 2,528,189 shares of common stock pursuant to your prospectus. In this regard, we note that your current report on Form 8-K filed January 27, 2023 indicates that you issued 2,413,189 shares as opposed to 2,488,189 shares in connection with the closing of the business combination.** 

The Company has revised the disclosure on the prospectus cover page and on pages 11 and 50 of Amendment No. 1 in response to the Staff's comment.

**<u>"Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of shares of our Common Stock, by us or our stockholders in the public market . . . ", page 49</u>**

2. **We note your response to comment 4, as well as your revised disclosure "that the number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Holders can sell into the public markets pursuant to this prospectus exceeds our current free float." Please revise to also quantify what percentage the resale securities would constitute of your public float assuming the sale of all such shares, to provide investors with a more complete picture of your public float. Please make conforming changes on pages 33 and 84, and also revise your reference on page 33 to "this prospectus supplement" to instead refer to "this prospectus," if true.** 

The Company has revised the disclosure on the prospectus cover page and on pages 33, 50 and 84 of Amendment No. 1 in response to the Staff's comment.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

**<u>Cash, Page 83</u>**

3. **We note your disclosure on page 119 that "[i]n connection with the Business Combination, stockholders owning 34,245,643 shares of JCIC Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their rights to have those shares redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.16 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $347,800,000 million." Please disclose such amount of redemptions here and discuss the related amount of proceeds that you raised from the business combination and how such amount impacts your short- and long-term plans.**
