On September 9th, 2021 Drone Assist Indiana along with the National Public Safety Drone Donation Program (NPS-DDP) donated a drone and equipment to the Columbus Township Fire & Rescue Department in Columbus, IN. This drone donation and equipment provided to Columbus Township Fire & Rescue including lighting donated by FoxFury Lighting Solutions, state of the art 3-D modeling software from SkyeBrowse and an Apple iPad donated by the Columbus Sam’s Club is over $2,500 in value. Drone lifesaving technology has proven to be a valuable asset to other departments and is sure to help save lives, property, and injury. This will be the 30th drone donation made by NPS-DDP.org since the foundation was established.

We are excited and proud to help serve our first responders in Indiana. We appreciate Chief Dave Thompson and all the men and women of Columbus Township Fire & Rescue.

Please consider donating to our program so that we can continue to support organizations in Indiana or donate to NPS-DDP to support organizations throughout the US.
