Technology With Purpose
The RX is BurnBot’s remote-operated fire system—built to safely scale prescribed burning, expand treatment windows, and deliver precision fire lines with minimal environmental impact. At BurnBot, technology isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s purpose-built to meet the distinct challenges of Fire, Fuels, and Timber. From remote-operated ignition systems that expand prescribed fire windows to remote mastication vehicles for precision fuels management to full-scale timber solutions that connect resources with markets, our tools are designed to scale treatments safely and effectively.
Every innovation we develop is created in close collaboration with practitioners and end-users, ensuring that our technology not only performs effectively in the field but also delivers tangible value to communities, agencies, and ecosystems.
Prescribed Fire Needs to Scale. The RX Makes It Possible.
Laying blacklines for fire operations
Treating narrow or steep terrain around powerlines, pipelines, or buildings
Creating defensible space around assets in WUI zones
Checkerboard burn strategy for large-scale landscape treatment
Traditional Prescribed Fire Challenges
Weather-constrained with limited burn windows
Requires highly skilled labor
Risk of escape fire in changing winds
Smoke and air quality impacts
Difficult to burn near infrastructure and homes
The RX Solves These By
Enabling safe burns in all weather conditions, including wet, dry, high winds, and variable humidity
Automating labor-intensive tasks and amplifying capacity to treat up to 10× more area
Containing embers and fire with integrated safety systems
Reducing smoke emissions
Safely treating in the WUI, along roadsides, and near utility corridors
Fuels: From Roadsides to Ridges — Remote Mastication Teams Get It Done
Precision fuels reduction on steep, narrow, or remote terrain
Clearing and maintaining corridors along roads, trails, and utility lines
Large-scale mastication for landscape-scale treatments
Creating and maintaining defensible space in WUI zones
A Force Multiplier for Fire Professionals
Remote mastication teams aren’t just crews—they’re mission accelerators. By combining BurnBot’s purpose-built mastication technologies with specialized training, our teams deliver high-efficiency fuels reduction in terrain and conditions where traditional hand crews can be limited.
Whether deployed independently or in partnership with public agency teams, RMTs increase the pace, predictability, and precision of treatments—freeing up personnel for oversight, planning, or additional project work.
With RMTs, fuels management can scale across landscapes and seasons, helping communities and ecosystems stay ahead of wildfire risk.
With the RX, we can burn outside the traditional fire season. It’s a huge step in scaling the use of good fire.
Turning Treatments Into Value — Timber at Scale
BurnBot’s timber solutions go beyond harvest—they’re built to deliver full-service outcomes. By integrating purpose-built technology with experienced teams, we can source and execute large landscape projects from survey to stump to mill.
- Comprehensive project delivery: surveys, planning, harvest, and transport
- Pace, efficiency, and precision in timber treatments
- Market expertise to maximize value from merchantable timber
- Connecting non-merchantable feedstock to the best available markets
- Helping landscapes offset treatment costs by matching resources with demand
With the RX, we can burn outside the traditional fire season. It’s a huge step in scaling the use of good fire.
Always Improving. Always Iterating.
BurnBot’s engineering and field ops teams continuously refine the RX system with field testing, data-driven updates, and direct user feedback. From software integrations to mechanical upgrades, the RX evolves with every acre treated.
