**Telangana Deploys Fire-Fighting Robots to Enhance Safety**

**HYDERABAD, INDIA – May 15, 2025** – Telangana State Disaster Response and Fire Services has introduced cutting-edge technology in the form of French-made fire-fighting robots to combat blazes and improve firefighter safety. The robots are being deployed across Hyderabad, Rangareddy, and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts.

These compact, high-strength aluminum robots stand 3.7 feet tall and are designed to access hazardous areas inaccessible to human firefighters. “These robots can essentially replace two firefighters and get close to places where personnel cannot reach,” explained Y. Nagi Reddy, Director General of Telangana State Disaster Response and Fire Services.

The robots are remotely controlled with a range of 500 meters, providing real-time feedback including camera views on a display screen. A built-in cooling system enables them to withstand temperatures up to 900°C (1652°F). When connected to a water source, the robots can be directed close to fires in warehouses and shops where heat and risk is too high for humans.

“Just a few days ago, there was an incident at Chandanagar, and I instructed the team to use the equipment wherever possible,” said Mr. Nagi Reddy.

Each of the three districts has been allocated one unit, with each robot powered by a battery providing up to six hours of operation. Spare batteries are also available. The Telangana State Disaster Response and Fire Services is hoping that the deployment of these robots will significantly improve the effectiveness of firefighting operations while prioritizing the safety of its personnel.
