IF YOU FLY WE CAN'T

DRONES NEAR WILDFIRE ARE NOT SAFE!

Flying drones or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) within or near wildfires without permission could cause injury or death to firefighters and hamper the ability to protect lives, property, and natural cultural resources.

Fire managers may suspend aerial firefighting until unauthorized UAS leave the area, allowing wildfire to grow larger.

Heard on the radio: "there is no road to get out of the Palisades bowl. All roads are impassable by civilians."

My ADSB receiver has been plugging away, yay. It should be helping with tracking all the helicopters and planes here in the area (pumping data everywhere, except ADSBExchange, because I'm still annoyed at the sellout).
