No recreational drones in fire zones

I have nothing against drones as long as they flown safely and legally. There are a number of good uses for zones including but not limited to reconnaissance by the National Weather Service in storm surveys, footage for real estate transactions, traffic surveys, agricultural operations and news operations. Flying unauthorized drones in or near a fire zone is not a valid and safe use because drones interfere with aerial operations over a wildfire. Most fire fighting agencies including the the New Jersey Forest Fire Service will shut down air operations over a wildfire if an unauthorized drone is spotted in or near the fire zone. Shutting down air operations means that the wildland firefighters on the ground lose the support of air tankers, helicopters and observation aircraft.
