Abstract: ABSTRACT FIRE RESCUE SYSTEM WITH COORDINATED AUTONOMOUS DRONE FLEET, PREDICTIVE DIGITAL TWIN, AND ADAPTIVE INFLATABLE EVACUATION DEPLOYMENT A fire rescue system (100) comprises a building-integrated sensor network (104), an emergency AI control unit (102) with a data fusion and fire confirmation engine (103) that confirms a fire emergency and activates rescue deployment, and a coordinated autonomous drone fleet (110) deployed from a docking station (106), the coordinated autonomous drone fleet (110) collectively carrying a thermal imaging sensor (122), a LiDAR sensor (124), and a visual imaging sensor (126). A digital twin generation module (130) fuses sensor data into a live three-dimensional digital twin (132) updated throughout the rescue operation. A predictive fire intelligence engine (140) generates a forecast of fire spread, smoke movement, and structural degradation. An evacuation path planning module (150) selects and recalculates an evacuation route (152) predicted to remain traversable. A rescue drone (118), responsive to a determination that conventional exits are predicted to become unsafe, selects a structurally secure evacuation point from the digital twin (132) and deploys an adaptive inflatable rescue slide/bridge (170) comprising an inflation source (172), an anchoring arrangement (174), a load sensor (176), and a wind compensation actuator (178).
