TLDR
A mechatronic design of a firefighter drone is presented, an emergency responder device that can assist firemen in fighting high rise fires and demonstrates its principal functionality.Abstract:
In this paper, a mechatronic design of a firefighter drone is presented. Unmanned aerial vehicles have been around for years, they present characteristics that aloud them to be used for different purposes. Nowadays, these devices have become more popular and their application increases rapidly in various fields. This paper focuses on the implementation of a low cost device that can help to control a fire. By implementing a mechatronic device, it is possible to spot a fire on time, and extinguish it without risking humans lives. It is an emergency responder device that can assist firemen in fighting high rise fires. The description of the proposed mechatronic system is briefly described, as well as experiments that demonstrate its principal functionality.read more

First Report of Using Portable Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Drones) for Search and Rescue
TL;DR: In this paper, a UAV was used to confirm a fatality in a slot canyon; this eliminated the need for a dangerous rappel at night by rescue personnel, and a second search mission in Oregon used several UAS to clear terrain.

Emergency ad-hoc networks by using drone mounted base stations for a disaster scenario
TL;DR: The potential of mounting LTE femtocell base stations on drones to offer an alternative for the saturated existing wireless infrastructure is investigated and preliminary results show that this a very promising approach although a high amount of drones are needed to cover all users in the city center of Ghent, Belgium during a 1h intervention.
