NORFOLK, Virginia: Old Dominion University students have spent this semester working with drones – but not to spy on anyone. 

Rather, they've focused on projects to help firefighters find blazes in remote areas and aid law enforcement in navigating water rescues. They've worked with crews in Carova, North Carolina, an Outer Banks community filled with dirt and sand roads and long stretches of beach that aren't easy to reach.
