This is already standard procedure, wildfires with air operations put temporary flight restrictions in place as a matter of course, which apply to drones as well. People still fly drones and shut down operations regularly.

- lifeisstillgood 8y agoFairy Nuff I think that this is partly training (you get in a real aeroplane you are drilled to look up flight plan data, weather and restrictions) But it is also equipment - drones don't have transponders, the software to fly them ignores flight restrictions (or rather never has that) and so on - drones need this extra stuff out of the factory.
- waterphone 8y agoFire crews have discussed the possibility of carrying shotguns to take them down. I don't know whether that idea has gone anywhere or got shut down for liability reasons.
