Drone with cables! Crazy simple idea,

It's called a teather drone. The most common idea I've heard bandied about in drone circles is uses in event security.

I like the search and rescue lights idea. They could put thermal cameras somewhere or too for other types of s&r operations too.

There are drones used by fire department connected to water as well to help put out fire on high buildings.

My city uses them to clean high rise building.
