Drone First Response Program

Strathcona County Emergency Services is going to be launching a Drone First Response Program on a pilot basis. This means that emergency services drone pilots will be able to fly drones to emergency scenes within 1 km of fire Stations 1 and 6 in Sherwood Park. The drones will arrive faster to the scene and provide information back to responders who are on-route to the emergency. Emergency Services has used drone technology since 2017 however this new technology allows the drones to fly beyond the pilot’s visual line of sight. The drones do not record any information while on-route. Recordings (if required) are only taken on emergency scenes.
