Frankfurt fire department relies on modern drones for safe operations!
A lot is happening in Frankfurt in the area of operational technology. The fire department has upgraded its drone fleet and put two new models into service that are not only more powerful, but also provide essential support in the event of a fire. With the purchase of the DJI M 400 and the DJI M 4TD A new dimension of firefighting opens up for the emergency services.
The DJI M 400, a larger drone, is primarily used for longer missions, while the smaller DJI M 4TD is ready to take off in a flash and can be flexibly adapted to different scenarios. Both models are not only faster, but also significantly more powerful than their predecessors. Interestingly, the DJI M 400 can also be equipped with spotlights, speakers or thermal imaging cameras, which makes monitoring and fighting fires much easier.
Drones in practical use
The recent use of the new drones during the fire in the coal silo at the Frankfurt thermal power plant was particularly impressive. Thanks to thermal imaging technology, the temperatures of the silos could be monitored from the air and measured precisely. The drones have proven to be indispensable helpers and have proven that it is no longer possible to imagine everyday fire service life without them. The weight of the drone with all additional equipment can be around ten kilograms, which is a manageable load for emergency services.
In summary, it can be said that the Frankfurt fire department has a good hand with its modern technology. These technical innovations not only bring greater safety for firefighters, but also faster and more efficient firefighting, which is invaluable, especially in densely populated areas. This shows that progress and traditional emergency services can harmonize perfectly with each other.
