— Fire Management and Control Services
Fighting Fire With Precision:
Your Trusted Fire Management Company
Fire management is what we do. Our mission is to ensure that fire management strategies are executed safely, cost-effectively, and immediately when required, helping to reduce the impact of bushfires. As fire seasons get longer and more intense, our expertise as a leading Fire management company in the Kimberley continues to play a crucial role in the minimisation of bushfire damage year on year. With a skilled team of experienced pilots and a modern fleet of helicopters, our services are tailored to effectively prevent, control, and manage bushfires, supporting both government and private sector clients alike. Equipped with SpiderTracks GPS tracking, our helicopters provide precise monitoring during fire operations, ensuring safety and effectiveness, including sharing flight information with our clients.
Our approach to fire management is both proactive and strategic, focusing on reducing risks before the start of the fire season. By working closely with both private and government agencies, we develop customised fire planning and management services that address the unique challenges of the region, ultimately contributing to the protection of communities and natural landscapes during fire emergencies. Additionally, our team are equipped to deliver immediate response in emergency situations.
Airborne Firefighting
We use Bambi Buckets to tackle active fires, enabling us to respond swiftly to blazes in hard-to-reach areas. This tool allows us to collect water from lakes and rivers, delivering it directly to the fire site to help control and extinguish the flames. We understand the critical importance of rapid response in these situations, and the Bambi Bucket provides the flexibility to adapt as conditions change. Our skilled pilots and ground teams work closely together to ensure safety for both our crew and the affected communities.
Crew Insertion
Teaming up with local authorities, we get crews into active fire zones quickly. Our helicopters can land in remote spots, allowing us to drop teams right where they’re needed most. Safety and precision are our main goals, so our skilled pilots work closely with ground teams to make sure every insertion goes smoothly. By getting crews in fast, we can enhance fire response efforts, which are critical for protecting lives and property.
Controlled Burning, Fire Breaks, and Drip Torch Operations
We work with government agencies and traditional owners to help reduce the risk of future bushfires, and we do this is through aerial incendiary dropping, fire breaks and drip torch operations. These methods are key to success bushfire management strategies. Our pilots are trained to make those aerial drops precise, while the ground teams ensure that drip torch operations are carried out safely and effectively. Together, these efforts protect both communities and the beautiful landscapes around us from bushfire threats.
Fire Surveying and Mapping
Our Bushfire services extend to fire surveying and mapping to support effective bushfire management and response efforts in the Kimberley. With advanced technology, we assist in gathering important aerial data on bushfire-affected areas, helping to assess damage, and in turn allowing your teams to plan effective recovery strategies. Work with our experienced pilots, who will fly your team over impacted regions, capturing critical information that ground teams can use for informed decision-making. This process not only aids in understanding the extent of the bushfire but also assists in identifying areas at risk for future events.
