The campaign recently reminded UAS users to respect
wildfire operations. The National Interagency Fire
Center also posted a video
warning for users to, “Be Smart. Be Safe. Stay Away.” Additionally,
the FAA provided guidance to law enforcement agencies
because they are often in the best position to deter,
detect, immediately investigate, and, as appropriate,
pursue enforcement actions to stop unauthorized or
unsafe unmanned aircraft operations.
FAA message, so remember this simple message around
wildfires: If you fly, they can’t. Keep your drone
on the ground and let firefighters and aircraft do
their jobs. And, if you see someone flying a drone
near a wildfire, report it immediately to local law
enforcement and the nearest FAA Flight Standards
District Office with as much information as
possible.
