Drones
Drones started showing on fire scene providing a great over view of a incident. Now drones have found a use in the fire service outside of the overhead observer. Drones can be equipment with a payload deployment system that can drop items to victims to aid in their rescue and safety. For example, Drones can drop a life vest or a harness to a victim. The folks at Fire Cam have a drone that you can add the Inspire Payload Drop System (Stork) to deliver equipment.
Search and Rescue (SAR) can you drones as an aerial search platform for ongoing Search and Rescue operations at a lower cost than traditional aerials operations. Keep in mind, training with drones will be important to get the full benefit. The biggest benefit for SAR is the use of thermal imaging cameras on drones for SAR and suspect recovery.

Translated from the Facebook post:
This morning at 7.30-time, the message came from the 110-Dispatch: two calves had stepped through the fjøsgulvet and stood in møkkakjelleren on a farm on the ravine.
The Ravine is located in ullensaker municipality and in the area of the upper district fire and rescue. Vaktlaget from the station on jessheim moved out, and our security in nittedal was asked to assist when they have equipment and matters on dyreredning. Nrbr also sent up a unit from lørenskog with usar equipment. Usar stands for urban search and rescue.
Together got crews from the upper district fire and rescue and lower district fire-and redningsvesen up the calves undamaged and for sure reason.
