Fire Prevention Drones

Fire prevention drones are 450 millimeter-sized quadcopters powered by built-in batteries that recharge at solar power towers. They use Forward Looking InfRared (FLIR) cameras and other sensors to detect fires, and were primarily used to fly in high risk fire areas. They can shoot small CO2 cartridges to “explode” fires, and alerted firefighters of out of control fires. Though these drones still exist, they are much less common than the medical delivery drones and messenger drones, and largely ignored by the survivors because they are not arc-powered.
