If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our September 9, 2022 letter. Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed September 23, 2022 Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, page 1 1. We note your response to comment 5, as well as your revised disclosure. In connection therewith: Please revise your discussion of Mountain Air to explain why you have historically utilized a variable interest entity to operate aircrafts but do not plan to do so following closing. In this regard, we note that your discussion of your other variable interest entity, Northern Fire, addresses the reasons for utilizing such a structure, but your discussion of Mountain Air does not provide comparable disclosure for shareholders. Robert F. Savage Wildfire New PubCo, Inc. October 21, 2022 Page 2 We note that your pre-closing structure chart on page 1 indicates that Bridger will wholly-own Mountain Air prior to closing. As your disclosure on page 4 states that "Mountain Air will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bridger on or prior to Closing," please revise the pre-closing structure chart (e.g., by footnote) to clarify that Mountain Air is and will continue to be owned by Timothy Sheehy and an entity affiliated with Matthew Sheehy up until the agreed-upon transfer to occur at or prior to closing. In this regard, it should be clear to shareholders that Mountain Air is not currently and will not be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bridger prior to such transfer. Risk Factors "On July 29, 2022 J.P. Morgan Securities notified JCIC that . . . ", page 34 2. We note your response to comment 30 that "J.P.

Morgan Securities was waiving deferred fees, despite already completing their services.

Morgan Strategic Situations' investment in Bridger on April 25, 2022, and also address whether each of J.P. Morgan Securities and J.P. Morgan Strategic Situations are wholly- owned by publicly traded JPMorgan Chase & Co. To the extent that JPMorgan Chase & Co. would have benefited from J.P.

As your disclosure also states that J.P. Morgan Strategic Situations made the initial introduction between Bridger and JCIC, please provide a more complete discussion of J.P. Morgan Strategic Situations' reasons for such introduction given that their subsequent involvement in discussions did not involve the proposed business combination with JCIC.

We note your response to comment 17, as well as your revised disclosure. Please elaborate on the mid-point of a range of EBITDA multiples, including disclosing the mid- point multiple used as well as a discussion of the basis for which JCIC selected such value (e.g., if it was based on a comparable company analysis, and if so, who performed such analysis). 7.

Please revise to disclose that the range was slightly above the low end of the GPCs median multiple of 19.1x, if true, to provide additional clarity for shareholders. Please also elaborate on the basis for which Vantage Point accounted for Bridger's higher growth rate in 2022 but not in 2023. In this regard, we note that the projections provided to Vantage Point anticipate high growth in not only 2022 but also 2023. To the extent that the "risks in Bridger achieving higher growth" are primarily present in 2023 as opposed to 2022, please revise to elaborate on such risks and the reasons for using a multiple range below the 2023 GPC median as opposed to maintaining a multiple range above the GPC median, as they did with the 2022 range.

We note your response to comment 39, as well as your revised disclosure that the business combination proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law whereas the merger proposal requires a special resolution.
