Report
The drone unit was called to a fire at a waste management company in Kirchheimbolanden. It turned out that a waste compactor in one of the warehouses was fully engulfed in flames. The drone unit’s personnel supported the emergency responders on site by providing aerial situational overviews and thermal data from the thermal imaging camera. The fire was quickly brought under control, but extinguishing it proved difficult because the burning material had to be completely pulled apart and doused. As a result, the operation continued late into the night.
