Got fire? The remote-controlled Thermite firefighting robot is ready to put it out.
Thermite is the most capable, durable and reliable firefighting robot on the market. Engineered and manufactured by Howe & Howe, Thermite was designed as an advanced tool to help operators combat fires safely and efficiently. By creating standoff, Thermite allows operators to remotely operate the robot from a safe distance. The bellypack controller provides high-definition video feedback for ultimate maneuverability in difficult conditions.
Fans of old-school Transformers may recall Inferno, a fire-fighting robot, that appeared in a 1985 episode of the cartoon series The Insecticon Syndrome. During the episode, Inferno sprayed fire-retardant foam on Ironhide, who had been electrocuted.
