From the meeting
On August 19, 2026 the board approved using up to $50,000 from the Aviation Fund to develop a district drone program. Chief Cranch said the program would support fire detection, search and rescue, fuels reduction, and community safety. The same minutes say two DJI Matrice 4TD drones had already been purchased and outside-instructor training was scheduled for October 19-22.
This is an active implementation and follow-on support opportunity around training, FAA authorization, and related accessories.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
