【推荐3】The Los Angeles Fire Department introduced its newest firefighter, a robot on wheels that can burst out 2,500 gallons of water a minute, and go where it’s not safe for humans to step in. The bright yellow machine is called RS3, which is short for Robot Solution 3.

“The Los Angeles Fire Department is the first in our country to get this amazing piece of new equipment,” Chief Ralph Terrazas told viewers. The chief said he became aware of the value of firefighting robots when he saw one named Colossus on the news. It moved forward into the depths of Notre-Dame de Paris to take up the fight from human firefighters for the roof threatened to collapse. Colossus was widely credited with helping save both lives and the building.

“It got me thinking about the large fires we have here. We had one of those fires downtown early this morning,” the chief said of a flame that set fire to two downtown businesses before 130 firefighters, including one who suffered minor injuries, put it out. A similar one last month destroyed a nearly finished apartment building for homeless people. “Sometimes we have to back our firefighters out of the burning building for their safety,” Terrazas said. “Then they must fight the fire from the outside, using hook-and-ladder trucks,” he added. “This is effective but takes a long time and uses much more water than we normally do inside the building.”

Terrazas said it is not only able to rush into a burning building, but also open a path later for its fellow human firefighters by pushing debris out of its way. On a freeway, it can push a car out of the way to get to a burning tanker truck.
