download PDFAbstract. Unmanned aerial vehicles could reduce risks in emergency response missions. The UAV firefighter team of Provincia autonoma di Trento proposes a new concept of operations. A fleet of drones placed in strategically selected locations and operated from the main headquarters in Trento. The first UAV, with a docking station, was placed on Marmolada glacier for trial.
