This Really Burns Me Up

[Disclaimer:  Blogger is at fault for the whacky sizing below.]

RESPONSIBLE DRONE USE: While drones have not been seen over the Bluecut Fire, fire managers would like to remind the public that hobby drones, or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), 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.

The authorities should have permission to shoot down a UAS in that kind of situation.  I can not beLEEEEve that those things are allowed to hamper life and property saving activities!!!!!
