Stop and think before flying a drone toward a wildfire. Consider the view from the firefighting pilot's seat. If you think it’s hard to spot a drone from this point of view, imagine being closer to the treetops and thick smoke impairing your view.
Remember! If you fly, we can't!

Last week, 23 developing Public Information Officers (PIOs) attended the NWCG S-203 course @ the MN Interagency Fire Center in Grand Rapids, MN.
The week-long course guided students through the important work the PIO oversees within the incident command system. Great work, PIOs!
