Firefighting drones can be used for a variety of purposes in firefighting operations. Here are some of the most common uses:
- Spotting and mapping hotspots: Firefighting drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras can detect hotspots, which are areas where fires may still be burning, but are not visible to the naked eye. This information can be used to create a map of the fire, helping firefighters to target their efforts more effectively.
- Aerial reconnaissance: Firefighting drones can be used to survey a wildfire or a building on fire from above, giving firefighters a better understanding of the extent and intensity of the fire.
- Monitoring the fire: Firefighting drones can be equipped with cameras and sensors to monitor the progress of the fire and the effectiveness of firefighting efforts.
- Dropping fire retardants: Firefighting drones can be used to drop fire retardants from the air, which can help slow or stop the spread of the fire.
- Providing situational awareness: Firefighting drones can provide real-time video feeds and other data to firefighters on the ground, giving them a better understanding of the fire and the surrounding area.
- Search and rescue: Firefighting drones can be used to search for and locate people who may be trapped in a burning building or in a wildfire.
