A Phantom Three drone has the ability to fly at a maximum of 19,685 feet in the air and capture moments only attainable by an aerial device. The Exeter Fire Department uses the drone to get an advantageous view of reported incidents and for documentation of training sessions, Fire Chief Brian Comeau said.
Just last week the Fire Department used to drone to survey the water reservoir because of a reported oil spill. The drone helped determine the film-like layer over the water was only organic material, such as pollen, sitting on the water’s surface.
Last summer, the Fire Department used the drone to survey the severity of the drought and its impact on the Exeter River.
