What we do

Aerial ignition has never been more accessible.

The need to manage wildfire thoughtfully and strategically has never been more important to the health of our forests, our communities, and our planet. Aerial ignition from a drone is a new technology that reduces risk while increasing fire management effectiveness.

How it works

_01

Plan your ignitions

Contact us to understand how drone ignitions can integrate into your prescription. Learn the strengths of drone based ignitions and build a plan that maximizes every hour and every dollar. Fire has never been a more accessible tool. The cost-effective application of fire starts with a drone.

Fly drone, start fire

Challenging terrain and short weather windows mean that an experienced team is worth every minute. Drones can be launched within minutes and ignition patterns are predefined with a fixed ignition sphere dispersal frequency.
