Drones in Rescue Operations: Auburn Fire Department Success Story
Drones are more than just a tool for aerial photography—they can be life-saving assets in emergencies. An excellent example comes from Chief Frank Roma of the Auburn Fire Department, who successfully used a drone to aid in a rescue. In the video below, Chief Roma demonstrates how a drone can carry a leader line to stranded individuals. This same technique has the potential to be applied in hundreds of different scenarios, from cliff rescues to tactical operations.

Why This Matters for Public Safety
The Auburn Fire Department’s drone deployment highlights how UAVs can provide rapid solutions in scenarios where traditional methods may take too long or put rescuers at risk. By safely delivering ropes, supplies, or communication devices, drones can drastically improve response times and reduce danger to first responders. These innovative applications are reshaping the way agencies approach search and rescue operations.
