Even after the fire suppression work is finished in the mountain, the fire could spread again because of remaining embers, so it is important to thoroughly complete the suppression work. However, the embers remained under the ground after the big fire is over, cannot be put out by helicopters, so the firefighters should climb up the mountain to check if there are any remaining embers. Ember detects embers with its thermal imaging camera, and it is connected to the rotating saw blade that picks up soil and embers under the ground together when its button is pressed. With Ember, the firefighters do not have to bend their waists forward to pick up soil, so they can perform a complete firefighting work with less energy consumption at night. Also, when they climb up the mountain, they can fold EMBER and then carry it on their shoulder, so they can save their energy before work as it is convenient with no limitations on movement. In case EMBER is not in use, it can be stored and recharged by using the charging station using the solar light.
