"It's a federal crime, punishable by up to 12 months in prison, to interfere with firefighting efforts on public lands," warns the FAA, emphasizing the seriousness of drone misuse during emergencies.
Cal Fire spokesman Chris Thomas noted, "even if it takes ten minutes to refill, that’s six water drops that are lost each hour," underlining the significant implications of such delays.
LA County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone stated that the drone involved was not aiding in firefighting, indicating a dangerous misuse of drone technology in critical zones.
