Do NOT fly your drones during firefighting aircraft are in the area!
“Akil Davis, FBI assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles Field Office, confirmed a Canadian Air "Super Scooper" aircraft that was helping to extinguish California wildfires on Thursday was damaged after colliding with a privately owned drone over the Palisades Fire.
The crash left a 3-inch-by-6-inch hole in the plane's wing, according to Davis.
However, when a crash happens, policy dictates all aircraft in the area have to evacuate, a much more severe impact during wildfire, Davis said.”
