Captain Chris Dennebaum, program coordinator for the Menlo Park Fire District’s Drone Team along with DJI representative Romeo Durscher were the only ones allowed to operate Drones inside the Sacramento Sleep Train Arena last week, during “Operation Sentinel Response”, one of two Statewide Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES) simulated earthquake exercises coupled with a radiological terrorist event.
