How Drones, Virtual Reality and other Technology will influence Fire and Safety Risk Reduction Strategies

The thermal camera can then allow operators to monitor crew members and conditions, improving efficiency and safety. The drone can also be equipped with a spotlight to assist firefighters in dark and low light conditions. After the smoke has cleared, drones can also aid in the critical work of assessing the damage, wheter it be from a fire or other natural disasters. Drones allow firefightes to quickly and effectively scout out dangerous fires, observe and monitor a large blaze and the sorrounding area and more. They can be used in various security appplications, ranging from supporting guards, policement and firefighters during interventions, to monitoring goods and sites. Situational Awareness Equipped with thermal cameras, Drones could play a major role by undertaking a first check of the situation and preparing those going in for what they can expect, having a potential lifesaving impact. For example they can give an overview on the spread of wild land fires and the potential harm to firefighters, the public and the sorrounding communities. Drones can also provide value by providing a view of the building fire from above, showing rooftop attributes, trapped occupants at upper levels, threats to exposure buildings, infrared heat analysis and apparatus location. The use of a drone would significantly improve response time, having a positive impact on the chances of saving lives and property. Drones also provide a quick and safe way to capture information relating to problems and damage that have been resulted from catastrophic events.
