JAN 24, 2025 – (LOS ANGELES) – As devastating wildfires ravage Los Angeles, local fire departments face resource shortages while working tirelessly to protect lives and property. In response to the crisis, Aeros has donated 400 protective goggles and 800 high-grade respiratory masks to the Los Angeles Fire Department, including Fire Station 98 and the Pacoima Fire Department.
“We’re proud to support the Los Angeles Fire Department and their heroic efforts,” said Igor Pasternak, CEO of Aeros. “We believe in making a positive impact in our communities—not only by innovating for the future but also by standing with those who serve today.”
This donation underscores Aeros’ unwavering commitment to supporting first responders and the local community during emergencies. Beyond these immediate efforts, Aeros is advancing groundbreaking solutions to address wildfire response challenges. The company’s electric Variable Buoyancy Airship (eVBA) is poised to address major obstacles in firefighting and disaster relief.


Key advantages of Aeros’ eVBA:
- Unprecedented Capacity: The ML866 carries up to 20,000 gallons of water or foam—far exceeding traditional firefighting aircraft. Future ML888 models will increase capacity to 72,000 gallons.
- Infrastructure-Independent Operation: Unlike conventional aircraft requiring airport-based refueling and reloading infrastructure, eVBAs can operate from remote staging areas near fire zones, enabling rapid response to emerging fires.
- Extended Coverage: With superior airborne endurance, eVBAs can continuously monitor and respond to fires across vast areas, including remote regions inaccessible to traditional firefighting methods.
“Every second counts in firefighting,” said Pasternak. “While developing advanced firefighting technology, we remain committed to addressing firefighters’ immediate needs. These fires reaffirm our mission to deliver impactful solutions to communities.”
Based in downtown Los Angeles, Aeros is accelerating the production of its eVBA fleet and remains dedicated to supporting local communities and public safety agencies.
