Amazon-owned security camera company Ring has expanded its neighborhood surveillance network partnerships to include local fire departments. The company, which has already established relationships with some 1,800 police departments, has signed agreements with at least 350 fire departments in just a year.
The company touts its network of home security cameras as a useful tool in arson investigations, since it allows agencies to request footage directly from civilians without a warrant, according to documents obtained via public records requests from 11 fire departments that have partnered with Ring. A Ring spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that fire departments have issued 214 requests for footage in the past year.
