BURNBOT
RX REMOTE
BLACKLINING MACHINE
Smokeless. Precise. Game-changing.
Revolutionizing prescribed fire
Traditional hand-firing methods for prescribed burns are slow, labour-intensive, and often constrained by narrow weather windows, smoke management concerns, and safety risks—especially in areas near homes, infrastructure, or steep terrain. These limitations drastically reduce the pace and scale of prescribed fire operations, despite growing pressure to mitigate wildfire risk across the landscape.
BurnBot RX redefines what’s possible. This remote-operated, precision blackline machine transforms prescribed fire implementation by enabling faster, safer, and more controlled burn operations—3–4x quicker than hand crews—while maintaining exceptional accuracy.
Engineered for performance in real-world conditions, the RX operates in high humidity, light rain, and winds up to 20 mph. It safely creates blacklines within 5 feet of structures, under high-voltage lines, and across uneven terrain—dramatically expanding burn windows and opening up new treatment opportunities.
With minimal crew requirements, near-zero smoke emissions, and full digital data capture, RX brings a new level of efficiency, accountability, and confidence to prescribed fire operations.
