Episode 224: Flying Forward: Training & Best Practices for Public Safety Aviation with David Danielson

What's the value of drone programs?

Hello Smart Firefighting Community!

Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy!

Welcome back to this 20-episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Texas Robotics Summit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mini Series! This 4 day event (March 4-7, 2024) was hosted at the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reveille Peak Ranch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and by our friends at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Granite Defense⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and showcased the use of robotics (air/water/ground) in public safety via keynote presentations, training scenario stations, roundtable conversations, and more.

In this episode:

• Standardizing drone training in public safety
• The importance of collaboration and measurable impacts
• Cultural shifts and unifying efforts in drone adoption

Hear from David Danielson - an Adjunct Associate Research Scientist with PREP at NIST and the Head of IEDO Fire and Rescue Drone Commission.

David talks about the development of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) drone program and the importance of standardized training and proficiency in the public safety drone industry.

He emphasizes the need for collaboration between entrepreneurs and public safety organizations and the value of reporting quantifiable metrics to demonstrate the impact of drone programs.

David also highlights the role of cultural understanding and the importance of unifying voices in the industry. Overall, he emphasizes the power of technology, such as drones, in improving safety and efficiency in public safety.
