A sergeant with the department says instead of sending out a mountain rescue team, drones equipped with thermal technology quickly spot humans with a nearly crystal-clear shot. The sergeant says pilots can take the location of a lost hiker from a 9-1-1 call and program it into the drone, and the drones can then map out an exact location and route to the missing person. The drones also have the ability to drop off items like water, keys or a phone.
