As fires continue to devastate the Central Valley, a new tool is helping Fresno County CAL FIRE officials prepare to fight the flames. This is the Mavic Pro Quadcopter, which CAL FIRE crews now have at their disposal to gain a different vantage on fires, and new information they couldn't get before. "It gives us another tool in our tool bag to be able to limit exposure to some of the firefighting personnel, it gives us a different vantage, and really just gives us a different perspective on what's happening with an incident," says CAL FIRE Battalion Chief Dan Urias. Fresno County is one of the first units in CAL FIRE to test out the new program. Urias is one of three battalion chiefs trained to operate the drone in an emergency response. The drones can fly for up to 30 minutes per battery, with multiple batteries on hand.
