Non -profit extraction to collect money to continue to support rural police, fire brigades

West Chester, Ohio (Wxix) – A non -profit organization in southwest of Ohio collects money so that you can continue to offer rural police and fire brigades the best drone technology.

First aiders use technology more than ever to help them do their work.

Some of these technologies such as drones have such high costs that only departments with large budgets can buy and maintain the latest technology.

Advanced Fire and Rescue Services comes into play here.

The non -profit organization has helped the police to pursue suspects, to pursue the firefighters, to pursue the path of the fires and to lead rescue and recreational missions to Tornados – all from the back of their cars.

“It's pretty worthwhile when we are called and we say that we have a pilot on site in 10 minutes,” says Chief Deputy May, the deputy deputy.

Ten districts, 12 members and these drones that can say can save millions of dollars by helping to reduce the men's hours required for certain calls.

“It is very important, which is why our service is currently 10 counties in Ohio,” explains May. “We run from Warren County, pretty much to Chillicothe, Green County, to Ohio River, and we can do that with a company budget of 3,500 US dollars a month.”

All this soil in between has small police stations and volunteers who could use drone help, but have no budgets that can maintain the costs.

“By using a common emergency service, we take a unit that has really good offers for these amenities that are needed, and then we share it with several communities, be it a village, a city or a district,” explains May.

May says that her equipment costs will outweigh your donations after four years in the company.

“All contributions are tax deductible,” says May. “We are a 501 (C) (3) organization that enables you to make a contribution and write this from your taxes.”
