Not always... They could just be curious people who want to see the fire. Just because they didn't fully think through their actions doesn't mean they would continue if it was pointed out to them. And some people might want to see the fire.. but maybe not enough to risk bricking their drone. Introducing additional financial risk could be all the disincentive they need. If you caught a flashed drone and found the user, it would enable stiffer penalties also. Flashing the drone would signal clear intent to break the law.
