Paradigm Robotics CEO Siddharth Thakur had a great time at International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Technology Summit International 2024. From winning the Shark Tank Award to meeting with key fire chiefs, leaders in the fire service, and innovators across the fire-tech landscape, to collaborating with end users across emergency management, the conference was a crucial stepping stone in our rollout of FireBot V4 to 80+ fire departments around the U.S. Learn more about our work here: https://lnkd.in/gYBZ9a-Z

"This is the future of emergency response," "This is the one of coolest technologies to come to the fire service," "FireBot is an absolute game-changer," "This will save so many lives," "When can I get this?" were some of the phrases I heard from firefighters, fire chiefs, and first responders this week. I'm honored to share that Paradigm Robotics is the winner of the IAFC-TSI 2024 Shark Tank Award, presenting to an audience of 400 fire chiefs and leaders in technology and emergency response. Thank you to judges Fire Chief Richard Kelley, Fire Chief David Povlitz, Fire Chief Tom Jenkins, and Sai Narain. I'm grateful to the entire fire service for their incredible warmth and generosity this past week at the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Technology Summit International 2024.

The Paradigm Robotics team presented and demoed at the 2024 Fire Rescue International (FRI) Conference in Dallas, Texas with a early sneak peak of our newest V4 FireBot platform, Phoenix, publicly launching in Fall 2024. A culmination of almost a decade of iterative testing, R&D, and collaboration with thousands of firefighters, FireBot V4 Phoenix is a game-changer for the fire service, public safety, and emergency response sectors. FireBot V4 is blurred for now, but stay tuned in the coming weeks as we announce FireBot's official launch and release more information about our dozens of upcoming pilots across the U.S. Thanks to our newest team member and advisor, retired Fire Chief Richard Davis, considered one of the "godfathers of robotics in the fire service," for spearheading our efforts, and Kevin Sofen for inviting us.
