In recent weeks, Unstaffed Aerial Systems (UAS), otherwise known as drones, were used extensively on the Chilcoot Fire and Grizzly Fire. Fire managers used them to conduct infrared (IR) flights. Drone IR saved hundreds of person-hours in detecting heat sources on or near the fireline. The type of drones used can cover any given area of a fire in a fraction of the time that it takes firefighters. Without technology like this, firefighters would have had to monitor the fires entirely by foot. This would have not only been less efficient but also more dangerous given this area's steep and unstable slopes.
Fire managers were able to utilize drones 10 of the last 14 days, gathering useful intel in a safe and efficient manner. Photo by Dan Warner, NW Team 6 on September 18, 2023
