[BFA INCIDENT DISPATCH]
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT IN BIG BEAR LAKE - **(STAGE) / KNIGHT AVE & BIG BEAR BLVD BIG BEAR LAKE
DETAILS: [Click Here]

BVES was doing the drone thing a couple years back on gilner point, identifying places where branches could touch the lines, followed by treemen clearing branches or sometimes whole trees. I had a dead tree right next to my house within reach of the supply line from the transformer, they took it down free of charge, you have to fill out a form online when they do it, but thats all, very easy...

Inspection tool. Cheaper than a helicopter or linesman I'm thinking. Sure, repairs will eventually end up on our bills but alternative????

The question is WHY is BVES using drones to capture images? What do they have to gain? Raise our rates again?

Subie Style the algae bloom at the lakes edge can make your dog very sick or worse. Best to keep dogs out of the lake at the present time.

One civilian evaluated for smoke inhalation.
