Last night, on 4 December a large fire broke out in a house on Jan Palfijnstraat in the Seefhoek district of Antwerp. Emergency services quickly responded, sending at least three ambulances and a Mobile Urgency Group team to assist those affected. Firefighters worked hard to stop the flames from spreading to nearby homes, while residents gathered in concern.
How are drones enhancing firefighting efforts in urban emergencies?
