AI Technical Summary
In the event of a major earthquake, conventional firefighting methods using fire engines become ineffective due to damaged roads, necessitating the use of aerial firefighting systems like helicopters or drones, and coordinated efforts between local fire departments and brigades.
A drone-based firefighting system comprising a command drone equipped with GPS, infrared camera, and anemometer, and standard firefighting drones that utilize rod-shaped or spherical fire extinguishing agents to penetrate or fall directly onto fires, coordinated by the command drone.
Enables effective early fire extinguishing by ensuring coordinated aerial firefighting efforts even in earthquake-damaged environments.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] Firefighting technology field [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, firefighting is carried out by fire engines. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] However, in the event of a major earthquake, roads may be damaged and impassable. This is where aerial firefighting becomes effective. Helicopters or drones are suitable for this. This means that a drone-based firefighting system must be established. Residents' autonomous firefighting organizations are also effective. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] It is important for firefighting activities to be coordinated between the local fire department and the fire brigade. This firefighting system consists of a command drone and a standard firefighting drone. The command drone is equipped with GPS, an infrared camera, autonomous driving, and an anemometer.
[0005] The extinguishing agent used in firefighting drones can be either rod-shaped or spherical. This is placed in the center of the drone. The rod-shaped agent will penetrate through the roof and fall. The spherical agent will just fall. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] It is effective for early fire extinguishing. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0007] Immediately after detecting an earthquake, the command drone rises directly. It stops at a predetermined location. It takes photos in all directions with its camera. This identifies the location of the fire. It also measures the wind direction for the day. A nearby firefighting drone heads in that direction from upwind.
[0008] The rod-shaped fire extinguishing agent has an arrow-like tip at the end, which penetrates the roof. There are two types of rod-shaped fire extinguishing agent, large and small. Each type is used for different purposes. A turbine engine is best for drones.
[0009] The firefighting drone has a regular camera that sends images, and a human observes the images and fires fire extinguishing bullets from directly above.
[0010] A heat-resistant drone. The servo motor shaft is lengthened. Cooled with a heat pipe. When there is no wind, it flies straight up without stopping. Drops fire extinguisher just before it goes straight up. [Example]
[0011] First, each member of the neighborhood association will manually put out the fire in front of them. They will keep electric saws and jacks on hand and will regularly practice firefighting.
[0012] The power company must never turn on the circuit breaker, even if it is not the correct one. The damaged house will short out and the fire will ignite again. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Claims
1. Arrowhead rod-shaped fire extinguishing agent
2. When a firefighting drone tries to extinguish a fire itself, it goes directly above the fire and sprays the extinguishing agent directly below.
3. Heat-resistant drone.
