If you see "DR1" on the 'big board' as shown above on the currently working multiple rescues [reported as 12+] in Echo Canyon, it is the callsign for Drone One.

Fascinating. Thank you for the info.

You're welcome.

Here's some of the back story on this mountain rescue of some rather mindless citizens who decided to hike in 105 degree heat...

Wait... so 115 degree heat can be dangerous?! Who knew?

As of now, the FD was just wrapping up and starting to rehab the crews before they can be back in service. That "rescue" cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with all those units and a helicopter pulling three off the hill as well.

All in the name of "public service".

Why are you attributing that supposed quote to me? I never said such a thing in this thread.
