They Anounced it over Citywide during one of the final progress reports last night that it was the first ever use of a Drone !!

Was the drone 1st due?  Or does it go after higher alarms are struck out?

If you are not being sarcastic, the drone  goes to second alarms and above-is carried/operated by the Command Tactical Unit.

I guess all the firefighters and chiefs on the roof who gave reports and conditions wasn't enough or believeable.
