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.

Traditional Prescribed Fire Challenges

Image
Weather-constrained with limited burn windows
Image
Requires highly skilled labor
Image
Risk of escape fire in changing winds
Image
Smoke and air quality impacts
Image
Difficult to burn near infrastructure and homes
Image

The RX Solves These By

Image
Enabling safe burns in all weather conditions, including wet, dry, high winds, and variable humidity
Image
Automating labor-intensive tasks and amplifying capacity to treat up to 10× more area
Image
Containing embers and fire with integrated safety systems
Image
Reducing smoke emissions
Image
Safely treating in the WUI, along roadsides, and near utility corridors

A Force Multiplier for Fire Professionals

Remote mastication team’s 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.

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

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.
