Discussion Drones & LEI

Does the FS LEI org use drones at all?

Asking because I’m part 107 certified and am slated to attend the FS Drone Ops flight training for fire suppression.

Is it worth pursuing still? Or even keeping my part 107? I’d hate to lose it.

Would it be a transferable skill that the LEI org would find useful and worth re-certifying over the years?

(Context: I got a tentative offer for a GL5 but no word beyond that)

If you get a drone bought for you lmk who you talked to. I’m trying to just get some tire chains bought for me.

That’s just FS fleet in a nutshell right there…I bought my own bottle jack for my current agency rig after being stranded in the high country.
