Help Fight Forest Fires: Stay Clear of Waterbombers!
- When waterbombers approach a body of water, it’s essential to move close to the shore to enable them to perform their scoop safely. A waterbomber will not scoop from a lake or river if encroaching watercraft pose a safety hazard. Prioritize safety and stay clear of waterbombers.
No Drone Zone: Be Safe, Stay Clear of Forest Fires!
- Flying drones around forest fires is not only dangerous but also illegal. Doing so can jeopardize the lives of pilots, firefighters, and other emergency personnel. Ensure safety by staying clear of forest fires.
