Gatlinburg, TN launches drone-as-first-responder program for police and fire
Gatlinburg, Tennessee launched the Gatlinburg Public Safety Aviation Program, which dispatches drones to emergency calls so police and firefighters get an aerial view before arriving. Three Skydio drones with thermal imaging fly from three launch sites in the city; on Oct. 29 a drone showed that a reported brush fire was actually a structure fire.
