Hero
Hero is a fire truck designed for high-rise and complex fire scenes. An integrated interactive panel on the side of the vehicle holds a tablet screen. Firefighters can set preset data such as foam ratio and water discharge for direct use on site. Several drones carry fire extinguishing bombs and support the crew. Infrared thermal imaging detects the fire situation and sends the information back to the screen. The doors and the body use thickened steel plates and embedded metal protective nets for protection. The aim is a shift from traditional to intelligent fire protection.
