The diesel-powered LUF60 from Austrian Rechners GmbH is a wireless remote controlled mobile fire-fighting support unit, which clears the path for advancement of up to a distance of 300 m by incorporating a high capacity positive pressure ventilator and a “water beam” fog. This combination clears away smoke, heat, toxic gases and reduces the intensity of the fire, allowing fire-fighting and rescue teams to more safely approach the incident.
The FFR-1 Fire Fighting and Rescue Wireless Robot of InRob Tech Ltd., Israel, is an example of a robot designed for high-risk fire-fighting missions, allowing fire-fighters to carry out operations that were hitherto impossible because of physical constraints or risk to human life.

Korean Hoya Robot has developed a compact 2 wheeled rolling robot is intended to be used by fire-fighters as their personal spy. Despite its heavy armour and robust look, it measures only 12.5 centimeters in diameter and weighs 2 kilograms. This robotic device can be thrown into a building on fire and operate there for 30 minutes. As it can withstand temperatures up to 160°C, fire-fighters can explore the environment and plan their actions accordingly using this remote controlled robot.
