I have not seen too many fire departments that have embraced the use of drones...which makes sense. I don't know of too many departments that have a bunch of firefighters with nothing to do on the fireground. This video is a great example of using a drone to find a fire. Even though this was not a FD drone, you can see the possibilities. Check it out. Does your department use drones?

Aerial Footage in South Florida of massive church fire that killed one in Downtown Miami today, we happened to be filming in the neighborhood and caught it just as it started.

A drone's eye view of the San Francisco Fire Department responding to what appears to be a small interior structure fire on Mission Street in San Francisco on the evening of May 29, 2014. They got it under control quickly as no flames were seen from the exterior of the building.

While this video is obviously of a training fire and their was no one at the tip of the stick when the drone video buzzes it, it made me think of what it would be like if there were a firefighter at the tip. Drones are becoming increasingly popular and videos of drones operating at fires are becoming more prevalent on youtube. Enjoy.

This aerial footage was shot with a DJI F550 Remote controlled hexa-copter and GoPro camera on March 16th, 2014. I saw the smoke while flying on the other side of town and used FPV (First Person View) goggles to fly directly over the fire.

A historic E. Maple Street home that had been transformed into seven separate apartment units was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, leaving five Holly families displaced, and causing officials to look into what may have caused the devastating blaze.
