What we do

Industry leaders in infrared hotspot detection with a decade of experience.

Hotspot detection for wildfire and industrial projects remain a primary focus. With the most hectares scanned, the most fires flown and the most piles called out, peace of mind is only a phone call away.

How it works

_01

Deploy.

Engaging our Hummingbird Scan Crew is simple. Provide your wildfire location, scanning objectives, and deliverable requirements, and we’ll deploy immediately. Our teams are trained to Type-2 firefighting standards and fully equipped for remote deployment by truck, helicopter, or float plane, ensuring rapid, seamless operations.

Scan.

With extensive experience and Transport Canada special flight authorizations, our team operates beyond line-of-sight, flying thousands of feet above ground level. This allows us to scan thousands of hectares and cover over 100 kilometres of perimeter efficiently, providing comprehensive data collection across vast wildfire areas.

Deliver.

Deliver.

We ensure your teams have all the necessary information before they start their day. Using Starlink connectivity, our crews deliver georeferenced PDF maps, geospatial files, and additional deliverables on time, every time, so you’ll never experience delays in critical decision-making.

_04

Repeat.

Repeat.

Our teams regularly scan multiple wildfires each night. With high mobility and the ability to stay deployed for weeks, we provide consistent, long-term support to keep your firefighting efforts informed and effective throughout the emergency.
