Via GiphyPeople are reporting seeing these drones burning off items such as kites or balloons tangled in the wires, that are too far for staff to reach.

Although igniting a power wire looks like a major safety hazard, the utility maintenance team said that flame-throwing drone wouldn't pose a risk to the wires, as they were made out of aluminium-coated steel.
"The flames occur spontaneously, and most of the things that hang upon power lines are usually plastic," said Zhang Han, a team member in charge of utilities maintenance in Xiangyang. "They usually burn immediately after, so there is no damage."
Utilities maintenance personnel have experimented with drones since 2010, according to the Xiangyang Evening Daily, which reported on the drones' fiery debut last year.
Power companies in other states such as Sichuan, Anshun and Hangzhou have similarly deployed these flame-throwing drones too.
