Drones revolutionise search & rescue

The National Association of Rescue Services is training volunteer rescuers across the country to use drones in their search & rescue operations.

Last week, 16 men attended a course on using drones for the purpose of searching for missing persons or objects.

“The drones are fitted with heat-seeking cameras which work just as well in complete darkness as in daylight, and they can detect thermal energy for up to two kilometres,” says Jens Hansen, a member of the National Association of Rescue Services. 

“So there’s no doubt that this will vastly improve our search and rescue work.”
