Gerrittsen Beach Volunteer Fire Department

Welcome to the Gerrittsen Beach Fire Department UAS Program YouTube channel.

This channel highlights how our department uses unmanned aircraft systems to support emergency response, incident assessment, situational awareness, and public safety operations. Our drones provide aerial and thermal imaging that help command staff better evaluate conditions and make informed decisions during emergencies, training exercises, and special operations.

Our UAS operations are conducted by FAA Part 107 Certified Remote Pilots and are carried out in accordance with applicable federal and local laws. Department pilots are trained to operate safely, effectively, and professionally in a wide range of emergency environments.

Through this channel, we share real-world responses, training, and examples of how drone technology supports the mission of the Gerrittsen Beach Fire Department.
