Numerous industries have been revolutionised by drone technology, and the firefighting sector is no exception. A fire extinguisher drone is a cutting-edge, remote-operated device designed to carry and release fire extinguishing agents, offering a highly efficient and safer approach to firefighting. In order to supplement traditional firefighting methods, this study explores the potential integration of fire extinguishing balls into a system that integrates drone technology and remote sensing. Developing a fire extinguisher drone involves creating a lightweight, agile drone capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh environmental conditions. Equipped with a fire extinguisher and a precise control system, the drone allows operators to discharge extinguishing agents with accuracy. One of its key advantages is the ability to quickly access hard-to-reach areas, such as the rooftops of tall buildings, enabling it to extinguish fires that traditional methods may struggle to reach. Additionally, the use of a fire extinguisher drone reduces the risk of injury to firefighters, as it can be operated remotely, keeping them out of harm’s way. Moreover, the drone can save time and resources by completing firefighting operations more efficiently than traditional methods. However, challenges such as high development costs, regulatory issues, and technical obstacles like battery life and communication must be addressed in the deployment of fire extinguisher drones. Based on our calculations, a drone equipped with Fire Extinguisher Ball having weight of 3.6 kg can fly for 8.21 min, providing sufficient reach for up to 200 m.

Keywords: Fire extinguisher drone, UAV, design analysis, Li-Po battery, mission planner
