If a wildfire is burning, do not fly a drone.

Unauthorized drones in wildfire areas can ground firefighting aircraft immediately, delaying critical fire suppression efforts and putting firefighters and the public at greater risk.

Do not put lives at risk. Keep drones out of wildfire zones. Let firefighters do their jobs.

Four apparatus from Company 1, comprising Engines 811 and 812, Tanker 813, and Brush 814, responded to two brush fires in the same general vicinity. Upon arrival, Brush 814 notified incoming units that the fire had self-extinguished and they were holding the scene. However, the crews were unaware that the actual fire was burning approximately half a mile down the road. Fortunately, a passerby informed the team of the fire's location, preventing them from clearing the scene and returning to service. This incident underscores the significance of community involvement, and we are grateful for the community we serve. If you see something, say something. Four apparatus and 10 members operated for approximately two hours before returning to service.
