I'd be surprised if these little out-of-control robots were ever functionally useful for firefighting. This is not very impressive, even as a proof of concept.

Packbot or the Big Dog 'bot would be 100x more useful for firefighting applications.
 
The video link was at the bottom of the story. By the way, Big Dog is made by the same company, Boston Dynamics.

Here's their new "Little Dog"
