The Perryville Fire Department has announced a new partnership with Trophy Finders and AgriCare Solutions LLC, local specialists in drone technology and aerial thermal imaging.
The collaboration will bring advanced thermal drone search capabilities to assist with missing-person searches, disaster response, and other emergency situations.
Department officials recently met with Johnny Garza, owner and operator of Trophy Finders and AgriCare Solutions, to review the equipment’s capabilities and discuss how the technology could be integrated into existing emergency response protocols.
Garza brings a wide range of specialized drone technologies to the partnership. Through Trophy Finders and AgriCare Solutions, his team operates multiple drone platforms capable of crop spraying, property and land assessments, deer recovery using thermal imaging, surveying, and other aerial services.
Fire department officials said that experience strengthens the value of the partnership by providing advanced tools adaptable to both rural and urban environments.
“ This technology gives us another valuable tool to serve and protect our community,” Perryville Fire Chief Jeremy Triller said. “Working with local experts like Johnny helps keep our operations safe, efficient, and community-driven.”
