We’ve proactively treated thousands of acres in Incline Village and Crystal Bay through hazardous fuels mitigation. By partnering with private contractors such as BurnBot, the NLTFPD is able to quickly deploy new technologies to reduce risk. In the first BurnBot demonstration, they managed 22 acres in three days, which, by traditional manual efforts, would normally take two weeks.
In a moment that demands both speed and precision, BurnBot is delivering innovation that helps meet the scale of our wildfire crisis, combining both robotic prescribed fire with state-of-the-art fuels reduction machines to reduce fire risk to communities and restore ecosystems.
Wildfire fuels reduction is not just about protecting our communities; it’s about nurturing our ecosystems and ensuring a sustainable future. With innovative tools like BurnBot, we can enhance our efforts, making land management smarter and more effective. Together, we can pave the way for a fire-resilient tomorrow.
