香港大埔火灾救援：无人机如何才能真正解决高空灭火难题？

Group 1 - The fire at Hong Kong's Tai Po Hong Fu Court resulted in 75 fatalities and 76 injuries, including one firefighter who died in the line of duty [2][3] - Over 1,200 firefighters and rescue personnel were deployed, utilizing more than 200 fire trucks and approximately 100 ambulances for the rescue operation [3] - The physical limitations of the rescue equipment hindered efforts, as the main firefighting vehicles could only reach up to 56 meters, while the building height was over 90 meters [4][6][7] Group 2 - The existing firefighting equipment, such as the "rotary ladder truck," has a maximum operational height of 56 meters, which is insufficient for high-rise buildings like Hong Fu Court [4][5][6] - The "oil pressure lift platform" has a limited rescue height of only 16 meters, making it ineffective for higher floors [5][6] - The internal road design of the residential complex, built 42 years ago, did not account for the operational needs of heavy firefighting vehicles [8] Group 3 - New emergency rescue vehicles utilizing high-pressure jet technology have been developed, capable of reaching heights of 160 meters, which could significantly improve firefighting capabilities in high-rise buildings [13] - The first of these new vehicles has been procured by the Liaoning Provincial Fire Rescue Team, but widespread adoption in Hong Kong is still pending [13] - The use of drones for firefighting has been questioned, as current models lack the capability to effectively combat large fires due to environmental challenges and payload limitations [14][16][18] Group 4 - The need for a coordinated drone operation to effectively combat high-rise fires has been highlighted, suggesting that a fleet of drones would be necessary for a "saturation attack" on large fires [20][21] - The current lack of standards and training for drone operations in firefighting scenarios has been identified as a significant gap in the industry [21][22] - The Hong Kong government is exploring additional support equipment, such as exoskeletons and mechanical transport belts, to assist firefighters in their efforts [24]
