Drone Footage Helps Firefighters Stay Safe

Over the weekend in Scottsdale, AZ, a drone was used by the Scottsdale Fire Department to assist in the repair of a gas leak. Firefighters said the leak was making a ‘jet engine sounding noise’ and was identified as a six-inch main that had been torn into pieces. The use of the drone was key in keeping firefighters safe during the event. The drone footage made it easier for firefighters to find the safest entry points as well. 14 individuals are now able to operate three drones for the city after completing their FAA certification. They will be operating for three battalions and a technical rescue unit.
