When it comes to firefighting, firefighters have a difficult time putting out fires in high-rise buildings, because the firefighting equipment is not long enough to reach those heights. Thankfully, we have technology that would sure be a great help to firefighters. Introducing firefighting drones.
Recently, a company in China performed a live fire drill using drones they programmed to carry fire hoses.
… Each drone carries a tank filled with fire suppressant powder, and is connected to a skinny water hose tether. Using this setup, each drone can control fire in up to 100 cubic meters (~3531 cubic feet) of space, and can reach up to 200 meters (~656 feet) off the ground.
Impressive!
