Fires: Flying tanks, fire balls... these drones that could change the battle of fire

The article discusses the potential role of drones in firefighting, highlighting innovations such as aerial water tanks and fire-retardant balls. It notes that while drones currently assist firefighters by improving predictions and guiding operations, they may soon play a more active role in combating fires directly. The piece emphasizes that large wildfires require significant amounts of water, which can only be transported effectively by planes and helicopters. However, projects like Daidelos, developed by enthusiasts, are exploring drone-based solutions to complement traditional methods.
