In emergencies, first responders said there’s a new angle of attack. 

The Port Vue Fire Department recently deployed a fleet of more than a dozen drones, and the department is getting more than its money’s worth out of them. 

Police officers, SWAT team members and firefighters were all ears, ready to soon bring a new tool to the scene of an emergency. Mike Pasko, Port Vue rescue captain and drone pilot, showed off the goods 

“You can have a thermo drone. You can see what’s out in the woods,” Pasko said. 

His department is committed to a new drone program, and other departments are taking note. It’s putting eyes on emergencies faster and easier.
