This is a media curation page for the PIRatE Lab's AARR Program. We are developing practical, low cost programs to monitor resources in our coastal zone (the land near the ocean and the ocean near the land) with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs aka "drones") overhead and subtidal Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) . Enjoy!!
Drones were reported near the Siphon Creek and Beatton Airport Road fires, near Fort St. John.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Again, these guys were probably wanting to image the flames. To say that they amount to a justified reason to ground helos is simply messed-up. I have seen helicopters operate near power lines, seen news helicopters operate near water dumps, etc. All of these things are risky and potential hazards. But our professional pilots and firefighters know how to manage these risks. Drones are another example of this. To be grounding management tools int he face of these much great danger/issue needing attention is crazy.
