Drone Use Log · Fort Collins / Larimer County
Public-safety drone use — Fort Collins / Larimer County 38 times a public-safety drone was flown or requested (19 flown), as heard on public fire and EMS radio traffic. Compiled automatically. Unofficial and approximate.
This log is compiled automatically from public fire and EMS radio traffic. It lists only drone use mentioned on those channels — police radio is not included, so it is not a complete count. Locations are approximate areas. Unofficial and provisional — not an official record.
Shaded paths are projections, not records. Drones sent from a base fly from PFA Station 1 or Station 5; the shading runs from the nearer station to the approximate incident area. The actual route was not heard on the radio and may differ.
