Thermal drone footage: DJI M4TD enhances fire response

Drones are redefining how emergency services tackle critical incidents — providing fast, accurate, and life-saving insights from above.

This video, captured using the DJI Matrice 4TD, during a recent fire, shows how drone technology delivers real-time situational awareness to improve public safety operations.

Lincolnshire Police's Drone Unit deployed the aircraft to support fire and rescue teams — detecting hotspots, monitoring smoke direction, and checking for people in the area.

With instant aerial data, responders were able to make faster, safer, and more informed decisions on the ground.

Compact, weather-resistant, and built for rapid deployment, the DJI M4TD is an ideal tool for public safety organisations. It is IP55-rated, and is equipped with a thermal sensor, wide-angle, medium tele, and tele cameras, plus a laser rangefinder and NIR auxiliary light.
