Balearic emergency services have a new recruit for their efforts in dealing with fires and other needs. A drone of 80 by 45 centimetres will be functional in the next couple of weeks and be operated by an aviation company based at the Son Bonet aerodrome. The drone, which can take photographs and video and thermographic images, has a flying-time range of up to 45 minutes, and the emergency services see its potential for marine rescue and for forest fires. At present, only the emergency services are acquiring a drone, though it may be something which other services adopt.
