From detecting invisible hotspots and preventing secondary fires to gathering wildfire data at night, the combination of drones and thermal imaging represents the most revolutionary firefighting aid since the introduction of the firehose. For decades, no emerging technology has improved firefighter and civilian safety to this degree.
As an affordable force multiplier, thermal drones have enormous potential to improve ROI. The technology enables smarter and safer operational decisions, provides objectivity where previously there has been guesswork, reduces time on scene, and in turn frees crews to attend to other emergencies.
But most importantly, the use of thermal drones mitigates risk. It means safer working conditions in a perilous profession. Embracing aerial intelligence has profound benefits in the long term: lives saved, injuries prevented, damage avoided, and tragedies averted. 
Adopting thermal drones isn’t without its challenges. Getting the most out of this innovative technology requires training, adapted operating procedures, and a willingness to evolve. But the evidence in favor is compelling. The question facing fire chiefs is no longer whether to invest in these verifiable tools. It’s why haven’t you done so already?
