26 September at 16:30🚁 DRONES PROHIBITED ⚠️

It is imperative not to fly a drone near the incident area.

🚫 A drone may be difficult for an aircraft on a mission to detect, and a collision could have dramatic consequences for both the crew and people on the ground.

🛩️ The presence of a drone may also force pilots to temporarily suspend air operations, even though these resources are essential for fighting the spread of the fire.

⚠️ Even for just a few minutes or to take photos, do not fly your drone.

🚒 Follow the instructions of emergency responders and any traffic or no-fly restrictions that have been put in place.

👉 A drone in the wrong place can endanger lives and jeopardize an entire rescue operation.
