The compact drone comes equipped with a thermal imaging camera and regular camera that can take both photos and videos. Spotlight and loud speaker capabilities are available too.

The drone is operated by a handheld controller with built-in screen. “It’s a lot of technology crammed into that little box,” said Preston Landt, who is both a fire and EMS volunteer.
