A firefighting drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to assist in combating wildfires and other fire emergencies. Equipped with thermal imaging cameras, these drones can detect hotspots and monitor fire spread, providing real-time data to firefighters on the ground. They can also carry water or fire retardant to help extinguish flames in hard-to-reach areas. These drones enhance the efficiency and safety of firefighting operations by allowing for aerial surveillance without putting human lives at risk. They are often used in conjunction with traditional firefighting methods, such as fire trucks and helicopters, to improve overall response efforts.
