Pilot Fire (San Bernardino County) Started 8/07/2016, updated 8/08/2016

SMOKE ADVISORIES: The SCAQMD and MDAQMD have issued smoke advisories for the Mojave Desert Area. RESPONSIBLE DRONE USE: While drones have not been seen over the Pilot Fire, fire managers would like to remind the public that hobby drones, or (UAS) unmanned aircraft systems, pose a major safety threat to firefighting pilots and firefighters. When a hobby drone is flown into a fire area, incident commanders have no choice but to suspend air operations and ground aircraft until the drone is removed from the area.
