Design and Development of Heavy Drone for Fire Fighting Operation

Abstract

Fire Accidents can cause serious injury and damages to the personnel and personal property. General Fire accidents occur often unexpectedly and sudden. Times of India published that, with 27,027 deaths, every fifth Fire related deaths in the world in 2017 took place in India. Around 9 million Fire incidents and 1.2 Lakh deaths were recorded across the globe that year. Thirty five Indians die in Fire accident daily, says the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) based on the 12,748 lives in 2018.When the Fire service responders arrive on a Fire scene, it is very difficult for them to predict the situation inside the building or any closed area subjected to Fire, so Drone can be a solution for the Firefighters to take decisions about where to concentrate resources and how to approach and enter the scene. A Drone mounted Fire Extinguisher Balls, Thermal camera, water in storage tank with a pump to pressurize the water, can be employed in an Emergency situation where human intervention is not possible. The Fire Balls dropped into the Flame, where it activates and spread a dry powder Fire Extinguisher agent. These Fire extinguisher puts off A, B or C class fires. The Thermal Imaging camera can be used to sense the presence of Fire, it also indicates the presence of people who were trapped in the buildings and they can be found easily even in the presence of Smoke, where the Fire fighters cannot be seen through their Naked eyes.
