The roof at the metal warehouse type building was starting to collapse, and the drone was able to detect the hazard early.

A drone was also used at the 5-day warehouse fire at Access Documents storage facility at the Brewster Creek Business Park on Humbracht Circle in Bartlett in early February 2021.
