Support to fire brigade at a wildfire
Support to fire brigade at a wildfire On May 6th we were preparing a flight test at the beach of St.Peter-Ording to collect training data for the onboard AI. What started as a routine flight test day turned into a real emergency scenario soon. Right before takeoff to our first planned flight we got requested to support the local fire brigades at a wildfire at the salt marshes at the south beach. We did 4 flights with over 20min each providing live video feed from our onboard RGB and IR camera into the ground control van helping the operations team on a live situational awareness.
