General Drones is the company that supplies drones. "Because of the heavy waves it was a complicated manoeuvre, but we finally managed to give him the vest and he could float until the lifeguards reached him by jet ski," added Pedrero. After being rescued, the boy was sent to a local hospital after being supplied with oxygen and was sent home 24 hours later. According to Sky News, General Drones provides rapid response assistance in such cases of potential drowning. Before the lifeguards can reach the spot, the drones' assistance gives ample time to save people.
