An aerial distribution system includes a fluid distribution head having at least one head fluid inlet in fluid communication with a fluid source, and at least one head fluid outlet. The fluid distribution head is reconfigurable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The aerial distribution system further includes a suspension assembly for suspending the fluid distribution head from an aerial lift system, and a deployment assembly coupled to the fluid distribution head and actuatable to reconfigure the fluid distribution head between the deployed position and the collapsed position.
