Drones have revolutionized firefighting in recent years and are a key game-changer in the fight against fires, becoming an indispensable tool in firefighting. Here, we illustrate the EVO Lite 6K Enterprise small commercial drone for rescue work in OSP Grójec.
Autel EVO Lite 6K Enterprise Usability in Fire Brigade
Polish company Dilectro is working with Autel Robotics to provide Autel Robotics Evo 6K Lite Enterprise Combo drones as competition prizes for non-profit organizations focused on public safety. The competition is part of the IFRE-EXPO in Kielce, Poland, and the drones will be awarded on June 14, 2025.
The Evo 6K Lite Enterprise drone features a 1-inch large aperture CMOS, supports 6K video and 20MP photos, 16x hybrid zoom, three-axis gimbal stabilization, three-way obstacle avoidance, 40 minutes of flight time and 12KM image transmission distance.

Autel EVO Lite 6K Enterprise has become an extremely useful element in the equipment of the Grójec Volunteer Fire Brigade, acting as a situation scout, aerial surveillance operator, protection intervention site, and searcher for missing persons in their actual operations.
In just one month, the Grójec Volunteer Fire Brigade has become a lucky winner and beneficiary of the modern technology of drone rescue in the rescue and search and rescue operations of the Grójec Volunteer Fire Department (OSP).
It is particularly noted that the Autel Robotics Evo Lite 6K Enterprise is a small C1-class drone, but it can also significantly support firefighting and rescue operations.
Advantages of drones in firefighting
Drones equipped with advanced technology are being deployed in various firefighting scenarios, especially in managing wildfires that are becoming more frequent and fierce due to climate change.
For thermal imaging drones, thermal imaging drones can detect heat signatures in thick smoke or at night, enter hard-to-reach areas and provide real-time data, helping firefighters find hidden fires that are invisible to the naked eye.
-
Enhanced safety: Drones reduce the need for firefighters to enter dangerous areas, thereby minimizing the risk of injury or death.
-
Cost-effectiveness: Drones are cheaper to deploy and maintain than manned helicopters or aircraft, making them accessible even to smaller fire departments.
-
Rapid deployment: Drones can take off quickly, with hot-swap batteries, to provide immediate air support, avoiding the logistical delays of traditional aircraft/helicopters.
-
Accurate and versatile: With advanced sensors and payloads, drones can perform a variety of tasks with high precision, from pinpointing fire hotspots to delivering targeted extinguishing agents.
- All-weather operation: Night vision and thermal imaging capabilities enable drones to operate in low-visibility conditions, ensuring continuous monitoring.
Among Autel commercial drones, EVO Lite 640T Eeterprise, EVO II Dual 640T V3, EVO MAX series, Autel Alpha are all powerful thermal imaging drones that can detect thermal data in real time, map fire ranges, identify hotspots, and monitor fire spread in real time.
Conclusion
Drones are revolutionizing firefighting by providing critical aerial support, enhancing safety, and improving operational efficiency. Emergency response departments everywhere should be equipped with UAV drone equipment, even small commercial drones such as the EVO Lite 6K Enterprise C1 can play a role in search and rescue, monitoring and reconnaissance operations.
