One of the most common uses of thermal drones is as firefighting tools. Heat mapping from the air allows firefighters to get ahead of risk factors. When working inside structures, it's possible to map out potential points of failure, while in wildfire scenarios, drones can help crews intercept fires’ progress in the open. 1, record 1, English, - thermal%20imaging%20drone
