Fire Spy Robot Heads First to Blaze

Developed by Hoya, the small Fire Spy Robot can run roll into a blazing building before firefighters to find out what is going on in temperatures of up to 500º C for as long as an hour. A second robot will also be used for larger fires. Both will be deployed to fire stations located in Daegu, Korea for test runs through November. While they are in there spying, perhaps they can teach them to say, spray a bit of water at the same time.
