Protecting Australia From Bushfire
Purpose-built technology and expert teams delivering planned burning and fuels management — at the scale Australia needs.
Australia's Bushfire Challenge
Every year, bushfires devastate millions of hectares of Australian landscape, threatening communities, critical infrastructure, and irreplaceable ecosystems. Traditional approaches to hazard reduction can't keep pace with the growing risk. The treatment gap is widening — and the consequences are accelerating.
In the 2019-20 Black Summer alone
Of planned burns never reach target scale
Wildlife affected in a single fire season
We exist to close the bushfire treatment gap. BurnBot brings together purpose-built technology, deep operational expertise, and a commitment to environmental stewardship — so Australia can treat more land, more safely, more often.
Purpose-Built Technology
Remote-controlled machinery designed for fire terrain.
Crew Safety First
Keeps crews out of hazardous terrain by operating remotely.
Treatment at Scale
Up to 10× more efficient when paired with traditional hand crews — based on BurnBot's US operations.
Ecological Stewardship
Ultra-low soil disturbance — treating fuel loads without damaging habitat.
What We Do
Two integrated service lines to protect communities and landscapes at scale.
Planned Burning
Precision planned burning operations using BurnBot's remote-controlled fire technology. We operate in conditions and terrain that traditional methods cannot safely reach — expanding the burning window and accelerating treatment pace.
- Remote-controlled ignition systems
- Low-smoke combustion technology
- Real-time fire behaviour monitoring
- Burn planning support
Fuels Management
Experienced crews and specialised remote equipment for mechanical fuel reduction. From roadside clearing to landscape-scale mastication, our teams deliver predictable, high-quality results.
- Mechanised fuels crews (MFCs)
- Vegetation clearing and slashing
- Biomass removal and processing
- Scalable crew deployment
- Quality assurance and site reporting
Different Needs, One Scalable Solution
Whether you manage utility corridors, public land, or private property — we have a solution.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Protect critical assets with precision vegetation management across powerlines, pipelines, water catchments, and communications corridors.
- Powerline corridor clearing and maintenance
- Pipeline and easement vegetation management
- Water catchment fuel reduction
- Communications infrastructure protection
- Compliance reporting and documentation
Purpose-Built Technology, Proven Results
Our technology enables operations in conditions and terrain that traditional methods cannot reach — safely, precisely, and at pace.
Remote-Controlled Operations
Crews stay safe while technology works in hazardous terrain and extreme conditions.
All-Conditions Capability
Operate 24/7 in most weather conditions — extending the burning window well beyond traditional limits.
Precision Treatment
Target specific fuel loads with surgical accuracy, protecting sensitive ecological areas.
Data-Driven Insights
Real-time monitoring, treatment mapping, and long-term risk analytics for every project.
BUILT FOR AUSTRALIA'S COUNTRY
Operating where crews can't safely go and conditions won't carry fire
Extends operational capability when traditional methods are limited
Audit-ready records for compliance, NRM reporting, and carbon markets
A proven US operational record behind us. Australian assets are being commissioned ahead of certification — mechanical treatment and risk assessment available now.
Proven in the United States. Commissioning in Australia.
BurnBot's remote-operated fire and fuels technology has been deployed with agencies and utilities across the United States. The results below are from US operations; our Australian assets are being commissioned ahead of certification.
