Heat mapping drones in fire fighting are already making a difference
Heat mapping drones in fire fighting in the USA are already making a difference in giving accurate and fast information as to the source, spread, hot spots and potential further dangers.
It is all a matter of time as to where and how drones will be used in fire and security. Cutting edge drone engine manufacturers whisper use of half tonne payloads and we see the rise of drone across many industries in both talk and action. It was in the Menlo Park Fire Protection District, in California’s Silicon Valley, where drones were an essential tool for first responders. They have already shown how drones bring situational awareness to a grassfire in East Palo Alto, a forest fire in Yosemite National Park, a search for missing kayakers in the San Francisco Bay and a flood threatening to block busy Highway 101, according to leading manufacturer Intel.
In the UK fire fighters are finding that they make operations safer, faster and cheaper. One of the first fire and rescue services to embrace drone technology has been Mid and West Wales (MWWFRS). UAVs were starting to be used successfully to assist the fire sector move forward with technology.
They also allow Incident Commanders to have on demand footage of an incident whereby he / she could dynamically make decisions to bring incidents successfully to a close. The Welsh Minister for Public Services accepted a grant funding bid by MWWFRS to support the continued reduction and successful resolution of wildfires.

This Grant according to Heliguy UAV specialists was used to purchase DJI Zenmuse XT cameras
The DJI Zenmuse XT makes aerial thermal imaging a walk in the park. It’s a combination of DJI’s proficiency in developing gimbals with the market-leading thermal imaging know-how of FLIR. This enables users such as emergency services or those in the agricultural sector can scan with unparalleled precision, over large areas, then save the results to analyse and create in-depth reports. Mid and West Wales Fire Service stated the DJI Zenmuse XT thermal camera will allow us to become one of the few Fire and Rescue services in the UK with the 24/7 capability as well as assisting in our ability to monitor fire spread at incidents or search for missing persons.
