In November 2019 the small Yorkshire village of Fishlake gained national notoriety as the River Don, swollen by unprecedented rainfall, overtopped and flooded a huge swathe of land including over 170 homes and businesses.

South Yorkshire Fire &  Rescue used imagery provided by Hummingbird to assist in the immediate response to the flooding.

  “I have to say it has been really beneficial being able to use the drone footage especially the 360 aerial shots. For a emergency service this one was really key, I have used it to brief crews which has allowed us to get to locations much quicker and help people.

It has also helped us target the best locations for pumping operations.

Thank you again”
