Fredericksburg Fire EMS is reminding the public that drones are not allowed to be flown around active wildfire fighting efforts.

“When unknown aircraft, including drones, are spotted near the fire, all responding aviation is immediately grounded, hindering firefighting efforts to protect lives and property,” a spokesperson said.

While temporary flight restrictions are in place for the area over the fire during these events, crews ask that people avoid the area to provide a safe environment for firefighting aircraft.
