Listen "Episode 7 - The future of emergency services"
Episode Synopsis
Imagine the year 2075. Firefighting robots navigate burning buildings, guided by intelligence from AI-powered drones in the sky …or a fire truck extends its retractable legs, stepping over a traffic jam to reach an house fire in record time. These technologies could be 10, 20 or 50 years away...or they may never leave the realm of science fiction. Either way, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services is looking into the future.Assistant Commissioner of Future Capability Jon Broomhall leads a new division within DFES, dedicated to exploring emerging trends and technologies that could redefine emergency response.
