Importance of Using Drones In Fire Fighting Operations

Fire-born casualties are becoming more common in urban areas, posing various issues for firefighters in adopting efficient mitigation techniques. 

Fremont, CA: High building density and the spread of high-rise construction have resulted from fast population growth and the establishment of megacities throughout the world. In such vertical cities, ensuring the protection of people and their assets has become problematic, especially during natural or artificial calamities. In addition, fire Incidents are becoming more common in urban areas, posing various issues for firefighters in adopting efficient mitigation techniques. However, most firefighters' measures can prevent horizontal fire spread in high-rise structures rather than vertical fire spread.

When a fire breaks in a high-rise structure, elevators are typically shut down, making it difficult for firemen to haul heavy lines and machinery up the steps. Other problems 

such as limited water supply, limited residential exit routes, and high fire spread capacities can render disaster control challenging. Furthermore, traffic plays a vital role in delaying firefighters' ability to reach the accident site promptly, delaying fire response, migration, and rescue. Innovative robotic technology and equipment are helpful for innovators and authorities all around the globe to control fires in high-rise buildings or locations with a lot of heat and smoke.
