Just a reminder for those with Drones
Make sure you are not interfering with the airspace over an active fire- Lives are at stake!

They should just start giving the firefighters a goose gun and shooting the things down, this is getting ridiculous!

Is this a real problem these days?

Why are drones legal to have in the first place?

Drones are legal for the same reason kites, rc cars and planes are. tbh though I didnt realize someone would not realize it's a bad idea in the first place ✈��

You would almost put them in a class of there own. Drones can be maneuvered and pointed much easier than those other examples you classed them with.Originally Posted by chrismcd

yes. Peeping toms, drugs delivered to prisons etc.
It is a problem if we make it so.
1. Human over population
2. Government burden and overreach

It seems to me that people making the "ban the drones" arguments have a lot in common with the "ban the guns" folks.
While the object, (drone/firearm) may be different, the same rational of the firearms proponents (us firearms owners) would be that you correct/remove the action rather than banning the object. Since it is behavior that is the problem not the object, you correct the behavior (inappropriate flying of drones) rather than banning the object (the drone) itself.
Also, since these transmitter/receivers in drones work in the 2.4 ghz range they could establish no-fly zones pretty quickly by putting up a transportable frequency-jammers at sites that would make flying them impossible. I do however think that drones could be used by the people fighting these fires to check areas without endangering personnel, they could transmit gps coordinates to water bombers and helicopters to allow more accurate targeting of fire-spots during times of heavy smoke as the drones could fly into the smoke without sacrifice/danger.
In general.... sometimes I may come across as being a prick.... but I'm human.... and cant always express my views as best as I should
ooooooooooooo
yes they are legal. And they have rules for them. Like no flying with in 9kms of an airport. And they sure as he'll shouldn't be flying around fire fighting equipment. I know one farmer . His neighbour was flying one around their barn. They took the ten gauge . And winged it. . It is the same as quad rules. No body knows what the rules are. An average Joe can buy one. A set of rules should come with a drone and a atv. Some common sense goes a long ways.
