  Technological Advancements

  
  

Technological innovations in the fire truck are continuously evolving to improve the efficiency and safety of firefighters. Technological advancement includes the integration of artificial intelligence for enhancing firefighting operations. Artificial intelligence allows us to identify fire-related risks, forecast fire behavior, and develop firefighting strategies. NASA is working on AUDREY, a software application that is an assistant for understanding data via extraction, reasoning, and synthesis. The AUDREY gathers necessary fire data, for example, temperature, gases present at the incident, how rapidly a fire develops, the response time of firefighters, and fire flow paths. The software will assist as a guide for firefighters by giving recommendations to work safely and efficiently. Moreover, due to the environmental benefits, electric fire trucks are becoming popular. An electric fire truck emits zero emission, which helps to reduce air pollution. Various fire departments are in the phase of incorporating electric fire trucks. For instance, North Vancouver Fire Department has added an electric fire truck to its firehouse. Similarly, The Charlotte Fire Department (US) has ordered an electric fire truck to be added to its new firehouse, which will be operational in 2024. Thus, the technological advancement in fire and rescue creates new opportunities in the Fire Engine Truck Market.
