Abstract
The deployment of multi-rotor drones has recently significantly altered the landscape of fire emergency response. This study provides an in-depth analysis of how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used to detect and manage fire-related emergencies. Focusing on their integration in various scenarios, this study explores the sophisticated array of sensors, communication, and navigation systems in drones. Emphasizing their roles in early detection, assessment, and recovery processes, this review highlights the newfound efficiencies and safety improvements they bring to emergency responses. Despite its transformative impact, this study also addresses the challenges and limitations associated with drone technology, including regulatory hurdles and operational constraints. The chapter presents a comprehensive view of the burgeoning role of drones in enhancing fire emergency management.
