A method and an unmanned aerial vehicle for identifying and remediating a gas leak. The method includes flying the unmanned aerial vehicle towards a possible location of the gas leak, then detecting a first condition indicative of the gas leak with a first sensor and sensing environmental conditions near the gas leak with an environmental sensor. The method includes receiving, by a controller, a signal representing the first condition indicative of the gas leak and a signal representing the environmental conditions. The method includes determining, based on the first condition indicative of the gas leak and the environmental conditions near the gas leak, a flight plan including an ignition zone. The method includes positioning, based on the flight plan, the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the ignition zone and discharging, by an ignition mechanism, an ignition source into the gas leak to ignite the gas leak.
