The Bell 412 and Firefighting Missions Around the World

Bell, your public safety mission partner, brings firefighting capabilities to the next level with one of their premier aerial solutions – the Bell 412 platform.

But what makes it so popular that more than 54% of the platform’s global fleet is actively deployed in military and para-public missions worldwide?

For over forty years, the Bell 412 platform has earned a spot as one of the longest serving aircraft in the Bell product portfolio with eleven different variants. The newest model in the Bell 412 family, the Bell 412EPX, offers top-of-the-line performance to public safety operators worldwide. Since being certified in 2018 with the FAA and validated with EASA in 2024, customers from every inch of the globe have turned to this medium twin-engine platform to advance their public safety missions, including San Diego Fire and Rescue, Japan Coast Guard, Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Interior, Croatia Ministry of Interior, and more.

Combining its increased maximum internal weight of 12,200 lbs., external weight of 13,000 lbs., and ability to carry 5,000 lbs. with a cargo hook, the SUBARU Bell 412EPX stands-out in its class for its ability to transport multitudes of public safety supplies and large cargo. Whether it be a short-haul air rescue or a swift water rescue – the SUBARU Bell 412EPX’s robust main rotor gearbox with dry run capability and increased mast torque output at speeds below 60 knots allows operators to benefit from increased horsepower to perform firefighting operations more efficiently.

To learn more about how the Bell 412EPX can advance your public safety missions, please visit the Bell product page
or visit the Bell booth at VAI Verticon 2025 (March 10-13).
