A regular firefighting ladder can reach 30 meters (100 feet), but this drone can fly to 300 meters and spray fires.

The drone can also be equipped with cameras that see through the smoke to detect humans or animals in the building. They can also help identify potentially dangerous and explosive goods.

There are many types of robots in development that can work in dangerous environments, where humans can't or shouldn't be.
