By Idy Perl

For their weekly "Did You Know Friday" post, the Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services team announced that they now have drones to assist first response teams during emergencies. 

The drones play a critical role in keeping the community safe, and are used during search and rescues, assess damage after a disaster, and conduct inspections to ensure the public's safety. 

"These high-tech drones aren’t just cool — they play a critical role in keeping our community safe.", they wrote in their statement. "By using drones, our emergency teams can respond faster, safer, and more effectively during disasters."
