Interview with Fire Department of New York - How to Safely and Successfully Implement a Fire Fighting Drone Program In today's show, we are joined by John and Mike from the Fire Department of New York to discuss the nuances of implementing a successful fire fighting drone program. This show starts off with John and Mike describing the various end uses for firefighting drones. Listeners will learn how firefighting drones equipped with EO and thermal cameras enable accurate inspections of large scale fires. In this segment of the show, you will also learn how information captured via drones can be relayed for real-time monitoring. Next, we segue into a discussion on equipment. John and Mike reveal that the FDNY has transitioned from the Phantom 4 Pro to the Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual. What makes the Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual a great firefighting drone? Is it challenging to fly the Dual in NYC where you will encounter heavy interference? And, what are the most critical attributes that departments should consider before purchasing a fire fighting drone? Furthering our discussion on firefighting drones, we also make an interesting comparison between tethered and un-tethered drones. While you can fly for extremely long hours using tethered drones, on the flip side, you will have to deal with restricted mobility. Considering both the pros and cons, should you opt for tethered firefighting drones? Other topics discussed on this show are the importance of standard operating procedures, the complexities of navigating airspace, and the need to get rid of red tape issues.
