Thu, 17 May 2018 09:31:53 CDT

The Litchfield Fire Department will be holding a demonstration of their new drone this weekend at Lincoln Land Community College in Litchfield.

The Department recently began using drones along with a new computer program that assists the staff to be better prepared for fires. Images from flights are loaded into FlowMSP, cloud-based pre-planning platform, to make incident responses smarter and the community safer. The demonstration will be held Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at the facility. There is no cost to attend the event and the public is invited to stop by anytime during the scheduled demonstration.

According to Litchfield Fire Chief Kevin Schott, fire departments from all over Illinois and Missouri will be in attendance. For more information or to have questions answered, contact Bradley with FlowMSP by calling 312-351-2227 or emailing bradley@flowmsp.com.
