A prototype drone developed at Imperial College London is able to withstand temperatures of up to 200°C for 10 minutes.
The so-called FireDrone (Opens in a new window) is designed to fly into burning buildings or forest fires and provide “crucial first-hand data” otherwise unavailable to first responders. For example, identifying where people are trapped in a burning building without fire fighters needing to perform a room-by-room search.
