Drones in action: Fire brigade uses technology against major fire!

At a major fire that recently broke out in Ehrnsdorf, the fire brigade was very alert. Commandant Harald Hörtenhuemer reported that the flames were already getting out of the roof when the emergency services arrived. Due to the severity of the fire, alarm level three was proclaimed, which means that all available forces had to be mobilized. "The longest extinguishing water pipe was over a kilometer away," said Hörtenhuemer, to clarify the challenge with which the fire brigade was confronted. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the property damage was a high sum, as ooe.orf.at reported.

techno -based fire fighting

A decisive factor in combating the fire was the use of drones with thermal imaging cameras. This technology enables the emergency services to receive information about the fire quickly and precisely. Thanks to the live images that are transferred directly to the user team, fire foci and endangered areas can be identified more effectively. The use of drones in fire fighting could become the norm in the near future, since they are not only ready for use, but also easy to control and extremely handy. According to techkrams.de , the drones offer the opportunity to identify dangerous materials and obstacles from the air and thus optimize the security measures.

The advantages of such technologies extend beyond fire fighting and could also play an important role in other areas such as agriculture or in search and rescue operations. With a transmission range of almost two kilometers and a flight duration of 20 minutes, these drones offer valuable support for rescue workers without being at risk. This innovation helps to save human life and optimize the use of resources during critical situations, as was the case during the current mission in Ehrnsdorf.
