An obvious innovation on Fire retardant Fire trucks would be fire retardant fire fighting drones and maybe fire retardant clothing

Carbon ceramic fibers, can withstand temperatures of more than 1,500 degrees Celsius

ceramic fibers made from silicon, boron, nitrogen and carbon can withstand temperatures of more than 1,500 degrees Celsius.

Fire resistant polymer coatings that resist temperatures up to 1000 degree C

Rural firefighters’ clothing is already fire retardant/resistant.

There’s a man they call Wookie you simply have to meet…

whilst these materials can withstand 1500°C heat can the person inside? does it actually protect them?

Maybe if they hide under the seat.

Depends of the fire and conditions, say 15 sec exposure to fire, maybe less, maybe more, it would need to be tested and rated etc

a better idea would be to get drones to to the close work

There are two problems with fire fighting drones. One is the limitation on flight duration. Most drones can only fly for about 4 minutes. The longest duration ones can be up for long enough – 23 to 25 minutes – but even they need recharging every flight. The second problem is lifting load, not many can carry more than about 1 litre of fire retardant.

I think we need to take fire fighting motorcycles more seriously. They can get into areas that fire trucks haven’t a hope of getting near, they can carry 200 times as much fire retardant as a drone, their engine could power a fire hose, and they can get out fast if things suddenly go belly up. Fireproof clothing and breathing apparatus (for both rider and engine) would be a must. At a pinch, the motorcycles could be unmanned.
