🔥 Drones and Wildfires Digital toolkit: https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/fil...

In this video, we answer the question of if you can fly your drone near a wildfire. We go over a brief overview of wildfires and response operations and then dive into FAA regulations and penalties and fines you could face. Just remember that flying drones over wildfires can be extremely dangerous and potentially cost lives. There’s a great saying by the National Interagency Fire Center that states: If You Fly, We Can’t.
