Summary:

AbstractNowadays, there are many technologies emerging like firefighting robots, quadcopters, and drones which are capable of operating in hazardous disaster scenarios. In recent years, fire emergencies have become an increasingly serious problem, leading to hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and the destruction of property worth millions of dollars. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), India recorded approximately 1,218 fire incidents resulting in 1,694 deaths in 2020 alone. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that fires account for around 265,000 deaths each year, with the majority occurring in low- and middle-income countries.The existing fire-extinguishing systems are often inefficient and lack proper testing, causing significant delays in firefighting efforts. These delays become even more critical in situations involving high-rise buildings or bushfires, where reaching the affected areas is particularly challenging. The leading causes of fires include electrical faults, open flames, and negligence, with a notable percentage stemming from cooking-related incidents. This research introduces a prototype of a quadcopter designed to extinguish fires, which is equipped with a mechanism for releasing balls. The prototype utilizes experimental items to mimic fire-suppressing balls, establishing a basis for potential applications in firefighting technology
