Chrétien explained that these drones are not the type available from any store that sells radio-control model plans, cars, or boats.These two drones cost $2000 together. Also, they are not the same kind of drones in use now by the Renfrew County Ambulance Service (RAS). RenfrewCounty received Transport Canada approval for a pilot project, there, using four drones from InDRORobotics Inc., which have a lift-and- carry capacity up to 2.5 kilograms. The RAS pilot project is testing these drones’ ability to transport a portable defibrillator or other life-saving equipment or materials, during an emergency situation when immediate access for paramedics is difficult or impos- sible.
Chrétien noted that the terrain in Renfrew County differs fromPrescott-Russell.There are more remote areas, hard to get to for the ambulance service. The PRAS drones, smaller in size, have more limited carrying capacity.They could take lighter items like an epipen to a site like an island in the middle of a river. «There are all kinds of uses we could get out of them,» Chrétien said. «This is all fairly new for us.» For now the main uses for the PRAS drones when they go into operation will be monitoring of an incident site to help emer- gency responders evaluate a situation, or to assist with a search-and-rescue operation through aerial scouting.
The Township wishes to thank all applicants who apply, but only those chosen for an interview will be contacted.
