Hello all, I have been a land surveyor up here in British Columbia for the last 8 years and recently ive started to play around with my phantom 4 pro and photoscan to create orthophotos, point clouds ECT. This summer ive decided to take a break from surveying and am working as a wildfire firefighter. Since I already have the skills and equipment to survey with uavs I was wondering if I could help my crew out in some way. We currently outsource our drone work to a company but they are a small outfit (one crew) for the entire province so the chances they'll get put on the same fire as my crew are slim.
I am wondering if anyone here has some knowledge on what kind of deliverables I could offer that would assist in firefighting? Ortho photos could help and obviously thermal imaging but the only kits ive seen for my drone are upwards of $5000 which is out of my budget. Any suggestions with those of experience in this field would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
