How Dubai Civil Defence is revolutionising fire safety

The firefighting scenario in the UAE has been going through tremendous change and growth since 2024. This is because of the stringent safety regulations that have been imposed by the authorities as well as the rapid urbanisation that the city has been experiencing day in and day out.

For this reason, advancements in firefighting technology, including drones with thermal imaging cameras and AI-powered firefighting robots, are taking centre stage.

Dubai Civil Defense, the government supporter for Intersec 2025, has also launched the world’s first sustainable mobile floating fire station.
