Sharjah to Introduce High-Tech Drones for Fighting Building Fires

Firefighting could soon become a standard practice. In order to prevent any serious damage, these firefighting drones that would be controlled remotely will be installed for the first time in high-rise buildings during this period. The aim of having them is to reduce cache in response periods and improve safety at times of emergency (especially during crises that require fast reactions).

To ensure that these drones are ready for operational use, a UAE based company called Drone First Building Services has partnered with Sharjah Civil Defence. The successful test involved sending the drone 150 meters skywards in 18 seconds while releasing water from a 5,000-litre tank. In case more water is needed then; the drone can draw it from an underground station through its tube.

Equipped with high-tech sensors, these drones will allow firefighters to identify fire sources, measure heat intensity levels and locate areas where flames are concentrated most. Brigadier Sami Al Naqbi who is the director general of Sharjah Civil Defence explained that this kind of technology would bring down fairly high fire destruction and prevent death much better.

A major benefit is reducing response time since they do not have to deal with road traffic making it possible for them to go faster than conventional fire trucks which always get delayed by traffic jams among other reasons. These aircraft are designed for an operation period of up to twelve hours per single charge thus making it possible for some of them to reach as much as forty storeys but there are ongoing upgrades aimed at increasing their range to sixty or seventy storeys high-rise buildings.

The use of drone firefighting could soon become a standard practice.
