Rain + Brothers Air Support: Teaming Up to Tackle Wildfires

Real missions, real fires, and real impact.

We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Brothers Air Support, a private Black Hawk firefighting operator, to equip their helicopter with Rain’s wildfire perception system. This collaboration marks a major milestone for Rain—it's the first time our system is being integrated with a private firefighting aircraft. 

The initial system includes a radiometric thermal sensor and an onboard mission computer with our software. Together we will collect hundreds of hours of real-world data each year —capturing how fires behave before, during, and after aerial drops. This data will continuously improve  Rain’s autonomy models, making our software smarter and more effective with every flight.

This work is personal for the Brothers. After losing their family home in the 2017 Atlas Peak Fire, they committed to being part of the solution. Now, they bring unmatched energy, boundless curiosity and forward-facing innovation to wildfire response—and we’re honored to be on this mission together. 

We believe that when we put the right tools in the right hands, small fires can stay small. We’re incredibly excited for this first step with Brothers Air Support and look forward to expanding our partnership in the future.
