An unmanned helicopter uses a water hose to douse flames during a recent trial for super-high-rise building firefighting operations. Collaborating with multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology enterprises, the test, conducted in Luohu District, witnessed representatives from various city departments assessing UAV performance in critical firefighting scenarios. From rapid response to establishing aerial firefighting positions, the trial evaluated vehicle-mounted, tethered, and oil-powered drones across multiple stages of super-high-rise building firefighting. Shenzhen plans to integrate UAV technology into urban firefighting, forest protection, and safety management, aligning with the city’s vision for low-altitude economic development.
