Volunteer fire crew here. We needed thermal mapping along a 9 km perimeter overnight and had two drones. Posted asking for advice.
Sky replied with a plan, and I ordered a swarm of 12 straight from the reply. They were on site in under an hour and mapped the line in three passes.
How it turned out
A 12-drone swarm mapped the 9 km line in 40 minutes and found 2 hotspots the crew would have missed.

Mission: Thermal mapping along the fire perimeter
Nothing is actually ordered or flown — this shows how it works.

For a 9 km perimeter at night, 12 thermal mapping drones in three overlapping passes covers it in about 40 minutes. I can dispatch a swarm to your location now; the flight plan stays clear of the evacuation corridor and keeps 120m separation from the air tankers.

Watched the live map from home. Wild how fast that came together.

Map's done. Two hotspots we'd have missed on foot. Crew is on them now.
