These are big drones that carry 100 pounds of fire retardant. It will be interesting to see how well they work.

Lmao. The censorship is off the charts

Fyi the filters are instance based, so the person you replied to and probably some of the people who downvoted you have no idea what you’re talking about. Only we can see it because we’re on .ml

Thanks for the tip, I didn’t know that!

My understanding is the drones are meant to give firefighters eyes on an incident before they arrive on-scene. Emergency calls can be notoriously inaccurate, from giving wrong locations to not describing things clearly.

If firefighters can see what they’re responding to even 5 minutes before they get there they can start preparing in advance. Maybe they need to call in additional or different resources. Maybe the actual incident is down a different dead-end street. If the drone has an infrared camera then it also might tell them where fire hotspots are, or the location of victims, etc.
