FireFly Aerial View

As an Incident Commander, or Ops Section Chief, have you ever been frustrated that you couldn’t see what was happening at your fire? Has the air attack pilot ever tried explaining some physical reference that just didn’t make sense? How about the fire behaviour and how many times have you had to ask what the fire was doing where and when? How many times have you wished that you could see exactly what is happening without even asking? If you have been in aerial firefighting for as long as we have that answer is probably 30 years! It’s a good educated guess that in excess of 95% of the current foresters and Incident Commanders have never seen a live fire from above. The closest they have probably come is seeing still frames after the fact. That is all about to change with a very exciting new and innovative product called FireFly. FireFly was developed and built by experienced pilots, as a service and not a product. The service is directly related to what they do above every single fire, operating all aircraft types from fixed wings to rotaries. The product is what makes the service just so much better. FireFly is proudly manufactured by the internationally renowned electronic fire detection camera system specialists, Firehawk.
