The embodiment of an aerial fire suppression system comprising of a water tank (104) clamped to a transport unit (100), and a snorkel (108) connected to the water tank (104) for pumping water. A straight boom lift (200) is mounted to the transport unit (100). The straight boom lift (200) has a tower boom (206) that can pivot downward from the transport unit (100). The tower boom (206) has extension booms (208, 210, 212, 214) attached to it that can extend to and fro. The inner most extension boom (214) has a main boom (218) mounted to it. The main boom (218) can pivot about the extension boom (214). Each end of the main boom (218) has a water cannon (230) mounted on it. The water cannon (230) consists of a monitor (232) that rotates about and a pivotal fire nozzle (234). The water cannons have the capacity to blast water or a product on a natural disaster. The technique enables the main boom (218) and water cannons (230) to maneuver and pivot within close proximity of a fire.
