The operation of any plane not related to hearth suppression actions inside a radius of 5 nautical miles round a hearth, together with unmanned aerial automobiles (UAVs or drones), is against the law. Anybody discovered interfering with wildfire management efforts could face penalties as much as $100,000 and or as much as one yr in jail.
