The drone team within Lincolnshire Police has supported the force and other agencies in dealing with a large fire.
Thermal imaging provided by the drone helped the teams across multiple agencies identify hotspots in the factory fire in Grantham.
Lincolnshire Police Drones took to Twitter to show the work being done and described how it observed smoke plumes to ensure ‘safe and effective working.’
