Do your deliverables integrate with ESRI?

Yes. Talon360™ oriented imagery is delivered through ESRI's Oriented Imagery Catalog, enabling direct integration into ArcGIS workflows. LiDAR-derived products including canopy height models (CHM), digital elevation models (DEM), and individual tree inventories are delivered in standard formats compatible with ArcGIS, QGIS, and other GIS platforms.

Do you provide wildfire behavior modeling?

Yes. FireView® runs Prometheus, BURN-P3, PYroCell, and other validated fire behavior models to simulate fire spread, intensity, and exposure under defined weather and fuel scenarios. All modeling is conducted by FBAN (Fire Behavior Analyst) certified analysts with active fire line experience.

How accurate is your aerial LiDAR for forest inventory?

Forsite's LiDAR-based forest inventories achieve individual tree stem detection rates consistently above 90% in conifer-dominant stands. Species classification, diameter at breast height (DBH), and height estimation are validated against field measurements using peer-reviewed methodology, with published accuracy assessments in Forest Science and Remote Sensing.

Can you support a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)?

Yes. Forsite provides end-to-end CWPP and CWRP (Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan) development including fuels assessment, risk mapping, treatment prioritization, and facilitation support. Our teams work with municipalities, Tribal Nations, First Nations, and government agencies across the US and Canada.

Where do you operate?

Forsite operates across Canada and the United States. Forestry teams are based in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick, Idaho, and Washington. Aerial patrol operations run from 12+ strategic bases across the continental US, with LiDAR acquisition capability deployed coast to coast.

Can you respond to emergency events?

Yes. Forsite's aerial platform and GIS teams support emergency response and post-event mapping for wildfire, flood, and pipeline incidents. Our geographic distribution and fleet size enable rapid deployment to most North American locations within 24–72 hours.
