Southern Manatee Fire Rescue DJI M210 Flammability Test

Southern Manatee Fire Rescue's HazMat team conducted it's second drone flammability test. This time we tested the DJI M210. With the M210 becoming a work horse in public safety, it was important to test whether or not this platform could be flown in or near a flammable atmosphere.This test was performed by trained personnel in a controlled environment

wow... they would be expensive experiment. I am glad the drones survived.

This confirmed my suspicions all along. I've mentioned the use of drones during pipeline tabletop drills and was shot down in flames (pardon the pun) by concerns about the ignition source. Besides, as long as the aircraft doesn't advance beyond the air monitor's sensor response time, the air monitors would keep it out of a flammable atmosphere. After all, isn't that what we are trying to do?

Now if only we could get a UL rating, the applications would be endless
