Town and county fire service is all volunteer. We all however have to go through pro board accreditation (for classes) which is nationally recognized in the USA. Check with your local department to see if they offer CPR and basic first aid

Scheduled for Fire 1 (basic Fire academy) in 2026. Looking forward to developing basic fire fighting skills and strengthen my knowledge in this new volunteer undertaking I started in mid 2025. As for tech skills in 2026, I’d love to develop

One anecdote I can provide - the department I volunteer for swapped to software based (see: mobile app) personnel calling because the county swapped to the system. The software can quickly load box data (PDFs of hydrant locations and buildi

Laid off game dev from 2024 (3D art). Looked into how I could participate in industries and economy at the county level. Became a survey tech for a survey firm that has been around for three generations. I’m looking to enjoying a new career

I definitely need to re-approach the county level historical society with a more thorough “pitch” for generating clean and detailed 3D models from drone photography. The website embed is easy, I’d use sketchfab as the content host and embed

Yup, I get it. This aircraft is disruptive at anything under 100feet above ground level. I thought there would have at least been an avenue to progress through as a federally licensed remote pilot, with an LLC and liability insurance.

That’s some incredible perseverance from you! In person is the right move though. Getting FaceTime in with groups or people who are part of the process does seem to make the best headway.

PA restricts drone take/off and landing to only 6 parks in the whole state. So for example, Washington’s crossing state park with its 3.7thousand acres, restricts drone/take off and landing by state law. I’ve politely reached out

This is great feedback. I’m still at the content creation stage, aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry to produce 3D models. Hosted on sketchfab. I really haven’t figured out a solution to host 3D models that isn’t tied to a web based priva

I’ll have to look into regional historical societies. The county wide historical group has not been keen on allowing access to properties without a justified end goal other then “3D model”. Which to be fair is a step I’ve still yet to figur

Popping my comment cherry here! I’m a 3D artist that is currently encountering staunch resistance of generating 3D models from drone captured photogrammetry of historically protected sites in Pennsylvania, USA. I’ve had resistance from the
