Abstract

A method for monitoring an active fire is provided. The method receives a request from an authorized party for live audio/video (A/V) data from a geographical area of the fire. The method identifies a plurality of A/V recording and communication devices in the geographical area of the fire. The method sends an authorization request to a plurality of client devices that each is associated with at least one of the A/V recording and communication devices, the authorization request for accessing live A/V data generated by the A/V recording and communication devices. The method receives authorization from at least one of the client devices for accessing the live A/V data generated by at least one A/V recording and communication device associated with the at least one client device. The method provides the live A/V data generated by the at least one A/V recording and communication device to the authorized party.
