According to their video on youtube, 30 minute flight time and able to carry a payload of 120 kg (265 lbs).
I'm not really sure how you could use this for firefighting other than spotting people trapped on upper levels. One man with full gear (45 lbs according to the google machine) and you don't have a whole lot of wiggle room. I can't imagine trying to use a fire hose on that thing either; wouldn't the pressure from the hose push you away from the fire?
They did say in can be remote controlled...maybe send the firefighter up to the window and use this thing as a ladder, one person at a time?

could these be used to pull people from burning buildings ?
No, don't have payload capacity for that.
