There is no current sizable activity

Please remember, “No Drones in Fire Zones - If YOU fly, WE can't!”

If in doubt about the source of smoke or fire, call 9-1-1 or 877-WARN-DEP (877-927-6337)

Remember, No Drones in Fire Zones -
If YOU fly, WE can't!

There are serious consequences to flying an unauthorized drone near a wildfire.
During a wildfire, our aircraft fly low to the ground, often at the same altitude that a drone would fly. If a drone is detected flying over or near a wildfire, all Forest Fire Service air support will be grounded - hampering suppression and observation efforts.
Please do your part, and prevent interfering with wildfire suppression by
staying grounded.
