Can you fly drones near a firefighting operation?

Very good presentation. Every drone pilot should have a pre-flight checklist. Checking for TFRs and NOTAMs (Notices To Airmen) should be on every checklist. They're two different things which should be checked separately. And while every Part 107 certified drone pilot will be familiar with these things, the vast majority of drone pilots are recreational flyers who have not gone through the same level of training. Clearly presented stories like this one are a big help.

Idk bout y’all but I can go to Walmart get a large drone and fly that baby WHERE EVER I WANT! You really think some rando is going to need to take a test about my flight area or EVEN LOOK at that fancy map…
