Firefighting
Firefighters are quickly adopting next-generation aerial tools, ranging from multi-gas detectors to high-resolution thermal and visual cameras, enabling rapid and informed decisions when responding to volatile emergency situations
Firefighting Key Benefits
Urban Firefighting
Provide immediate aerial intelligence and guide optimal response to protect people and property
Forest Firefighting
Scan vast areas and quickly identify firelines, assess their threat, and optimize response
HazMat Operations
Rapidly and remotely identify threats while keeping response teams safe
Urban Firefighting
Traditional Challenges Urban Fire Response
Arriving on scene, smoke, buildings, and obstacles can make it challnging to determine the scope of a fire and its threat Limited ground perspectives on the fire can hinder the optimal deployment of attention and resources In the aftermath of a fire disaster, it can be hazardous and costly to survey and document damage
How Drones Aid Urban Firefighting
Fly over buildings and obsacles, and see through smoke with thermal cameras to help prioritize targets Stream live video intelligence back to command centers to align teams and eliminate uncertaint Leverage high-resolution cameras to remotely monitor remaining threats and document damage for future analysis

Forest Firefighting
Traditional Challenges For Forest Firefighting
Inadequate road infrastructure and complex terrain makes patroling high-risk forested regions challenging for ground teams From the ground, it can be difficult to quickly determine the scope of a fire and to prioritize targets Without eyes on scene, it can be challenging for incident commanders to optimally direct the front line
How Drones Facilitate Forest Firefighting
Bypass natural obstacles and quickly scout high-risk forested regions from above Fly above the tree-line to quickly ascertain the scope of the fire, and establish firelines and firebreaks With an eye in the sky, incident commanders can determine where to deploy resources

Traditional Challenges for HazMat Teams
Before teams can move in, gaining mission-critical situational awareness costs precious time when every moment matters HazMat teams are exposed to great risk when they assess for gas, liquid, and solid hazardous materials Disposable HazMat suits and equipment are expensive and cumbersome, increasing response times and operation costs
How Drones Aid HazMat Operations
Rapidly scan the hazard and its surroundings, and provide incident comannders with critical intelligence to guide next steps Hover near and remotely assess the nature of threats with thermal cameras and multi-gas detector payloads Capture evidence of HazMat and clean-up procedures for cost analysis and future training documentation
