Fire is an integral part of land management in northern Australia. Every year extensive prescribed burning programs are carried out. Burning during the cooler months to reduce fuel load decreases the risk of large fires that cause greater damage late in the season.

Controlled burning also helps to maintain biodiversity and assists with vegetation management. The lasting effects and devastating impact a hot wildfire has on a community is well documented and takes years to recover from.

HeliSpirit has a complete fire management package. We have the capability to burn the fire breaks using our Robinson R44, slinging a drop-torch (“Spitsfire”) capable of igniting 30 nautical miles on one line. This builds effective fire breaks as wide or narrow as desired.

For fire fighting, HeliSpirit has helicopters that specialise particularly in fire suppression Our Bell LongRanger with a Bambi fire fighting bucket can utilise water from any nearby water source.

All fire aircraft are fitted with dual VHF radios and aerial mapping equipment. This can be overlaid onto topographical maps to allow accurate information to be transferred to ground crews. The HeliSpirit firefighting aircraft can be deployed at short notice and have a mobile team of engineers to ensure that no time is wasted in the field. Fire services include:

• Water bucketing (Bambi bucket)
• Drop-torch and incendiaries
• Fire surveillance and mapping
• Crew and equipment insertion

Disaster can strike at any moment and often when it is least expected, putting lives at risk in potentially remote areas. A fast response is especially crucial for search and rescue missions when potential delays could spell disaster.

Our pilots have a wealth of experience with search and rescue operations and we have aircraft available in Kununurra and Karratha. Our state of the art aircraft are fitted with GPS satellite mapping and advanced equipment to ensure missions are completely as safely and efficiently as possible. The majority of our helicopters are fitted with Spidertracks satellite tracking units. The Spider S3 provides real time satellite tracking and emergency alerting back to our head office in Kununurra with position reports every 2 minutes.

We take extreme measures to ensure the operation is successfully carried out without any compromises. Our rescue helicopters are regularly maintained to ensure their safe operation at all times.

We can also provide support helicopters for your tasks and events as part of your risk mitigation strategy.

Search

With more than two decades of experience flying for search and rescue missions across the Kimberley, we understand that every second matters. We offer fast deployment on our aircraft to areas that are normally inaccessible by ground vehicles.

Our team have successfully provided assistance with the search of individuals in distress throughout the Kimberley region. While such missions are often associated with remote areas, search operations are increasingly carried out in urban and suburban areas.
