Public Safety: Fire Fighting Drones

Keep fires at bay and lives safe

with airborne intelligence.

Get started

A fire doubles in size every sixty seconds

Gain situational awareness over fast moving blazes

There’s no time to wait, when lives are on the line. Drones that beat you to the scene enable an initial size up before the first due engine arrives. That will help you get the right resources deployed faster, gather aerial intelligence, coordinate emergency response, and keep your crews safer.

Improve your sight through blinding smoke using Skydio X10's thermal camera in both structure and wild fires. Thermal imaging to locate hot spots, real-time fire mapping, and the ability to assess structural damage instantly give firefighters critical insights that empower them to make better decisions.

Deploy in under 40 seconds

Every time I launch this drone, I know I’m providing better safety, better awareness and information to our decision makers so they can provide the best possible customer service delivery to the citizens of Phoenix.

Faster, safer, response

Arrive first for a better response plan

Now you don't have to wait for responding units to assess fire conditions. Get a drone on the way in less than forty seconds and get a live aerial video feed of the situation. Deploy the right resources as early as possible to more efficiently track and contain any blaze.

Flight-enable any responder, with just a few hours of training.

Traditional drones take weeks to learn and 100s of hours of flying time to get proficient. Not Skydio! Our AI-driven autonomous technology enables responders with minimal experience to fly in complex environments while on-board software deftly avoids obstacles. Launch and grow your drone program quickly and easily.

Dispatch to response team coordination with Skydio live streaming the scene

Coordinate response through a common operating picture.

Stream real-time video to coordinate a response between field team, dispatch, and hazmat. Share directly in your Skydio account, Axon Air, Axon Respond, Fusus by Axon, or other streaming service to give everyone a common operating view and make better, faster decisions.
