This webcast focuses on how drones are changing the way firefighters operate. Get a sneak peek at the pre-conference Summit at FDIC International, where you’ll learn how drones are used for search and rescue, scene monitoring, and real-time decision-making. We will explore success and failure case studies, the recent deployment of drones during the 2024 Hurricanes, lessons learned during the long-term deployment of UAS platforms, and upcoming 2025 drone trends. At the pre-con in April, we will dive into classroom sessions and see drones in action during live field demonstrations at Indianapolis Fire Training Academy. Join us to explore how drones can improve safety and efficiency and result in your fire service operations.
