#KnowBeforeYouFly! There have been 21 reported public drone incursions this #FireYear2024. When aerial operations must shut down because of these incursions, wildfires can grow in size which greatly hampers firefighting efforts. If you fly, we can't.

As hunting season begins, some areas are off-limits due to wildfire efforts. Stay out of restricted zones to protect yourself and firefighters! 👉 Active crews/hotspots make these areas dangerous. 🔴 Check local restrictions before heading out for a safe season! #HuntResponsibly
