OUR MISSION
Aerial Innovations is dedicated to utilizing state-of-the-art drone technology to conduct safe, efficient and accurate wildfire infrared and area scans.
Our mission is to provide critical updates and aerial intelligence to support informed and strategic firefighting decisions.
We specialize in thermal scanning services for wildfires, offering precise, GPS-marked maps of wildfire hotspots to assist Incident Command teams.
Behind the Innovation
Our story begins in northern Manitoba, where our roots are deeply tied to the wilderness and wildfire management. With firsthand experience in Initial Attack Crew Leadership under the Manitoba Wildfire Program for multiple seasons, our team witnessed the intense challenges and critical decisions required in the fight against wildfires.
​
During these formative years, we observed the transformative potential of drone-based scans in enhancing wildfire response efforts. Inspired by the efficiency and precision these tools could bring, we set out to create a professional service dedicated to supporting the wildfire management community we care so deeply about. Today, Aerial Innovations is the realization of that vision—a commitment to serving the north with cutting-edge technology and a passion for protecting the land we call home.
At Aerial Innovations, our team is composed of highly skilled professionals dedicated to providing top-tier wildfire mapping services. Our expertise includes ICS 200 training, ensuring a deep understanding of Incident Command System protocols for seamless integration with firefighting operations. We bring hands-on wildfire experience, including FR2 Initial Attack and ICS S-230 Crew Leadership, equipping us with critical decision-making skills in high-intensity fire environments. We are also proud to employ Advanced RPAS pilots, trained to handle complex drone missions with precision and safety, ensuring the highest standard of aerial intelligence for wildfire response.
​
Our qualifications extend to Certified Thermography, enabling accurate interpretation of thermal imaging data to detect even the smallest hotspots. With a background in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology, we excel at creating detailed, actionable maps that empower decision-making in wildfire management. Additionally, our team's experience in Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations allows us to cover vast areas efficiently, ensuring comprehensive data collection.
​
Together, these credentials reflect our commitment to safety, professionalism, and delivering reliable results in even the most challenging wildfire scenarios.
