WHAT WE BRING TO THE HELIBASE

BUILT TO THE FEDERAL HOS STANDARD

Every unit meets or exceeds the U.S. interagency Helicopter Operations Support specification — so your incident management team plugs in and goes.

OPERATIONAL READINESS

VHF-FM, UHF and VHF-AM P25 digital base stations with portable handhelds, antennas, and a 360° public address system — programmed and ready on arrival.

INDEPENDENT POWER

Quiet-type generators, deep-cycle battery backup, and hybrid renewable options keep radios and crews running through a full operational period — and any outage.

SATELLITE CONNECTIVITY

High-speed satellite internet, managed Wi-Fi, multi-line phone service and data jacks at every station — dispatch stays connected anywhere the fire is.

MOBILE COMMAND CENTER

A climate-controlled radio room and work area with seven stations, full sight-lines to the helipad, whiteboards, printers, and weather instrumentation.

RAPID RELOCATION

Self-contained and road-legal, the unit can break down and reposition anywhere on the incident within four hours at the team's discretion.

COMPLIANCE & SAFETY

ENERGY-STAR equipment, EPA-compliant generators, certified inspections, and trained technicians — fully aligned to interagency safety standards.

HOT WATER PRESSURE WASHING

HOT WATER PRESSURE WASHING

On-site hot-water pressure washing to sanitize helicopter drop buckets between fills — preventing invasive-species and water-source cross-contamination, critical along the Continental Divide where watersheds split.

MOBILE COMMAND OFFICES

Spacious 400 sq ft mobile command offices — climate-controlled, powered, and connected workspace for incident leadership, planning, and coordination beyond the radio room.
