This is one of the best uses of drone technology I've seen. Every second counts in a water rescue.

Technology like this can make a real difference in emergencies. A drone buying someone precious time until rescuers arrive is an impressive example of innovation saving lives. 🚁❤️

Is this a staged ad for the drone company because it seems like he can actually swim

This was a good and quick way to make the swimmer survive before the lifeguards arrived.

Members of the FDNY Robotics Unit assisted in the rescue of a swimmer in distress on Saturday at Beach 108th Street off Rockaway Beach by deploying emergency flotation devices from above while providing real-time aerial support to responding crews. As surf conditions deteriorated, FDNY members, using drones, quickly located the swimmer and deployed two inflatable safety buoys, providing immediate flotation until NYC Parks Lifeguards reached the person and brought them to shore. "The Robotics Unit is a force multiplier during water rescue operations," Lt. David Melendez said. "Our ability to quickly locate victims, provide real-time intelligence to the Incident Commander and deliver emergency flotation devices within moments gives responders valuable time and additional options when every second matters. These rescues highlight how technology and teamwork together can save lives." ⚠️ We remind New Yorkers and visitors to swim only when lifeguards are on duty, follow the posted safety signs, and to stay alert to changing water conditions.

At approximately 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, FDNY members assigned to the Robotics Unit and EMS rescued two swimmers in distress off Rockaway Beach at Beach 85th Street just 20 minutes after lifeguards had gone off duty. While patrolling the shoreline with a drone, Firefighter Michael Stothers spotted the swimmers struggling in the water and, within minutes, successfully deployed a Restube flotation device from the drone. The flotation device began to inflate as soon as it hit the water and helped both swimmers remain afloat until rescuers arrived. EMT Michael Ormiston, of Station 47, entered the water with a rescue torpedo and made contact with one victim, while Firefighter Patrick O'Leary assisted in bringing the individual safely to shore. An off-duty lifeguard assisted with the rescue of the second swimmer. Both patients were transported to an area hospital in stable condition. ⚠️ As more New Yorkers head to the beach this summer, the FDNY reminds residents to swim only when lifeguards are on duty, follow the posted safety signs and to stay alert to changing water conditions.
