A team of Learners and Tutors at Abetifi Technical Institute in Ghana's Eastern Region have successfully designed and developed a prototype firefighting drone. This innovative invention has the potential to revolutionize firefighting efforts in Ghana and beyond.

The drone is equipped with a high-resolution camera that can provide real-time footage of fire outbreaks to firefighters. This will help them to identify the location and extent of the fire, as well as to assess the risks involved in extinguishing it.

The drone is also capable of extinguishing small fires or to slow the spread of larger ones.

The development of this prototype firefighting drone is a major achievement for Abetifi Technical Institute. It demonstrates the creativity and innovation of the students and tutors at the institute as well as their commitment to developing solutions to real-world problems.

The drone has the potential to make a significant contribution to fire safety in Ghana and other countries.

Here are some of the benefits of using a firefighting drone:

Improved situational awareness: Firefighters can use the drone to get a real-time view of the fire, which can help them to make better decisions about how to extinguish it.

Reduced risk to firefighters: Firefighters can use the drone to scout out the fire before they enter the burning building, which can reduce their risk of injury or death.

Increased effectiveness: The drone can be used to carry water or other firefighting agents to the fire, which can help to extinguish it more quickly.

The future of firefighting drones:
Firefighting drones are still in their early stages of development, but they have the potential to revolutionize the way we fight fires. With continued research and development, it is likely that firefighting drones will become an essential tool for firefighters in the years to come.

The innovative team behind the design and development concept are, Norbert Osei, Institute Counselor, Ofosu Michael, Electrical Engineering Learner, Charles Ababio- Electronics Engineering Learner, Alotey Derric - Mechanical Engineering Learner.
