A high schooler in Pittsville is returning the favor to the fire department, helping them in their time of need. It may lead to a lasting partnership with the school district. Fire Chief Jerry Minor says it all started when the department was gifted a drone. "Part of the package with the drone is how do we charge the drone batteries in a remote setting," he said. That's when they turned to Stephen Hadfield, a technology education instructor with the Pittsville School District, for help. "And I said boy I have the perfect student for that," Hadfield said.
