Safety Reminders
- Waterbomber Safety: When waterbombers approach a body of water, move close to the shore to allow them to scoop water safely. Waterbombers will avoid scooping if watercraft pose a safety hazard. Stay clear of waterbombers to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
- No Drone Zone: Flying drones near forest fires is illegal and dangerous. Drones can put the lives of pilots, firefighters, and emergency personnel at risk. Stay clear of forest fires and keep drones grounded.
