High-Tech Drone Pinpoints Allotment Fire in Dover
Firefighters in Dover used their newly upgraded DJI M30T drone to track down an allotment blaze this Sunday afternoon. Following several calls reporting smoke and flames with no clear location, Kent Fire and Rescue deployed the drone to get an overhead view and guide crews straight to the fire.
Drone Tech Saves Valuable Time
Local callers spotted flames but couldn’t pinpoint the exact spot. That’s when Kent Fire and Rescue’s tech specialists stepped in, flying the drone over Snargate Street to locate the fire quickly and help combat the spreading flames.
Cause Under Investigation
The origin of the fire remains unclear and is currently being investigated. Meanwhile, multiple fire crews tackled the blaze after the drone’s precise guidance.
Kent Fire and Rescue has been approached for further comment.
