Safety Reminders:
No Drone Zone:
Flying drones near forest fires is dangerous and illegal. Drones endanger the lives of pilots, firefighters, and other emergency personnel. Stay safe and keep clear of forest fires.
Waterbomber Safety:
When waterbombers approach a body of water, move close to the shore to allow them to scoop safely. Encroaching watercraft pose a significant hazard, and waterbombers will not scoop if they are present. Stay safe and clear of waterbombers.
