He will present a compelling case for prioritizing drone integration, not just within individual departments, but across the entire fire service community. Key Question: Are you fully prepared to use drones effectively, is the fire service slow to adopt approach holding you back? Or are training gaps and regulations slowing down a tool that could make firefighting safer, smarter, and more efficient?
