FDNY drone unit.

Who operates the drone unit? Where is it quartered? Does it have a normal alarm response level as well as its being s/c to incidents. Thanx.

Command Tac has the drones I believe

 

[Darrell]

I believe it goes on a 10-60 or the Major Matrix. I may be wrong but if the Air Recon Chief is unavaliable (I.e flights are grounded for some reason) would the drone still end up being used at a 3rd Alarm?

TARU Drives around in suburbans so they have a advantage of getting a drone up fast

FDNY Command Tactical 3 opens next week

Command Tactical 2 shooting for end of the year but we will see.

I know 2 is transitioning from “special event/long duration incident” to an operational unit. Is 3 gonna be operational as well or special assignment?

CT2 basically just gonna split the city somewhat like that Tacs.

CT3 will be a summer unit / special assignment

CT4 or probably gonna be called Robotics Operations or something like that

Rumor is that the FDNY drones will be on shark patrol this summer.
