Our Story

Founded in Hood River, Oregon, Lab 308 is a cutting edge technology company working to improve aerial firefighting with smart infrared imaging. Founded by two tech entrepreneurs, who are engineers and problem-solvers at heart the company aims to give firefighters the real-time intelligence they need to battle wildfires more effectively and safely.

Lab 308 develops small video-based IR imaging systems designed to provide real-time intelligence without requiring operational changes. These systems provide live thermal mapping, hotspot detection and feed into predictive fire spread models, enabling faster and more informed decision-making from the sky.
