- Officials say that ground crews had to find the drone operators and tell them to stop flying around the fire before aircraft were able to continue attempts to control the blaze. In all, the incident delayed efforts by roughly 26 minutes — valuable time as wildfires can quickly grow out of control.
According to Battalion Chief Marc Peebles of the San Bernadino Fire Department, the delay "definitely contributed" to the fire hopping the freeway. He told the local Los Angeles NBC affiliate that some of the drones gave chase to firefighting aircraft.

Now that's fun to think about. It reminds me of the movie "Demolition man". How they found it ludicrous that we used wadded paper to clean out behinds instead of the " three seashell " method they use.

I agree, It's always interesting. It's kind of sad that people can't stay out of the way when common sense should tell you to do so.
