Shenango Area Fire District Drone Team
The Shenango Area Fire District proudly introduces its newly formed drone team, equipped with the advanced Teledyne FLIR SIRAS UAV. This cutting-edge technology enhances the district's ability to respond to emergencies with greater precision and efficiency. The FLIR SIRAS UAV provides high-resolution thermal imaging, enabling first responders to locate individuals in distress, assess hazardous situations, and monitor large-scale incidents from the air.
The Drone Response Team will serve Shenango Township and surrounding communities, providing critical aerial support whenever requested. This ensures that neighboring areas can also benefit from this state-of-the-art technology during emergencies.
The team is composed of highly skilled individuals, with all pilots certified as FAA Part 107 UAV pilots. In addition to meeting federal certification requirements, these pilots undergo extensive in-house training to ensure the highest level of proficiency in operating the drones during real-world emergency scenarios.
This program was made possible entirely through the generous donations of local businesses and individuals. Their support has enabled the district to implement this vital resource without the need for additional taxpayer funding.
To maintain transparency and highlight the program's impact, an annual report of drone activity will be made available at the conclusion of each calendar year. This report will provide insight into how drones are being utilized to serve the community and improve emergency response efforts.
