but it would require your municipality to grow your response by one unit per apartment/highrise fire, otherwise you’d end up with one of your expected units piloting drones instead of being utilized as manpower.
Sorry it may be because I'm tired but I'm not sure I fully grasp what you mean.
If I’m first due and incident command, my engine guys are pump and confinement, then I have 3 more 4 person units to play with:
1 will be attack
1 will have to be RIT
1 for search or a second attack team.
If you decide to task one unit to “drones”, you will lose a manpower unit. Do you understand now? I’m not saying it can’t be done, I’m saying you need an additional team to be deployed or else you will be taking resources away from firefighting ops.
It'd probably be like an USAR truck, you simply wouldn't dispatch them unless you actually needed that vehicle.
Wouldn't make sense for smaller fires like 2-3 story residential units where only a few units show up but large high rise fires typically result in a proportionally larger response too, meaning more manpower to spare.
