Back to EpisodesThe Westchester Brief | 2.19.26: Rye Drone Rescues Swan Frozen in Pond
Description
On February 13th, Rye police and firefighters used a drone to rescue a mute swan that had become partially frozen to a pond. Instead of risking a dangerous ground approach, responders sent up an aerial view, guided the rescue safely, and transferred the bird to Animal Nation for rehabilitation. It is a small story with a bigger point: this is what competent, resourced local government looks like in practice.
