Supporting the protection of our wildlands since 2001.
Pathfinder’s depth of experience in aerial fire management goes far beyond the company’s operating history. Our crews are trained for the mission and maintain knowledge of fire behavior and the utilization of effective techniques.
With carded crews and equipment, for both medium and light helicopters, Pathfinder can be deployed in short notice throughout the US and is capable of providing fire support anywhere in the world. Pathfinder currently holds both exclusive use and call when needed contracts with US government agencies.
