Design and Experimental Evaluation of an Autonomous Fire Fighter Drone for Hazardous Environments

Fire emergencies challenges arise partic-ularly in industrial settings ,in urban areas and remote locations where a human respond going quickly is not always safe or even possible.In such responsibilities, the risks of fire can spread faster and damage can be-come extensive, sometimes turning into disaster.This paper describes our work on a page firefighter drone designed to help during those critical moments of fire emergencies.What we have built combines flame and gas detection capability with wireless communication and an PID-based tablet interface for fire response operations, which has been tested to actually work in the field.Unlike normal drones that just monitor fire from a distance, our project-actually helps control or suppress small fires or even assist with larger fires while keeping stable flight even after releasing a payload.We explain trials conducted both indoor and outdoor in which we observe the drone perform in different situations.The results show reliable de-tection with a decent response time and controlled deployment of the extinguishing mechanism.Taken together, even with multiple low-cost platforms, it is easy to support firefighting operations in a meaningful way while keeping people out of risk to their lives.
