Abstract : Firefighting operations under risky conditions expose crews to risks such as heat and poor visibility. This project is focused on developing and manufacturing a micro drone to enhance rescue effectiveness by navigating congested spaces and making real-time observation. The development process consists of aerodynamic modelling in SolidWorks to ensure stability and maneuverability, and functionality is enhanced by using high-performance materials, sensors, and optical systems. Accuracy is achieved in manufacturing by vertical tower milling to produce accurate parts. The flight time and obstacle avoidance are tested on the prototype.

Keywords : Fire Rescue, Micro Drone, Poor Visibility, Hazardous, Solid Works, and Vertical Tower Milling.
