About Fireline Recon

Led by combat-proven pilots and emergency services experts delivering persistent ISR when it matters most.

Fireline Recon was founded to solve a critical gap in wildland firefighting and disaster response: the need for persistent, long-endurance ISR that tactical drones simply cannot provide.

Our team combines decades of military aviation, emergency services, and technical broadcast expertise to deliver reliable, real-time intelligence using Boeing ScanEagle systems.
