Pinned🚨🚨 STRICT PROHIBITION ON FLYING A DRONE NEAR A FIRE 🚨🚨⛔ NEVER FLY A DRONE NEAR A FIRE, even to take pictures or monitor the fire’s progress.
✈️🚁 Many water-bombing planes and helicopters may be operating at very low altitudes, sometimes with visibility severely reduced by smoke.
⚠️ The presence of a drone poses a MAJOR DANGER to flight crews. A collision can have tragic consequences, and the detection of a drone may force aircraft to suspend or alter their operations, thereby delaying firefighting efforts. 🔥
❌ No image is worth endangering the lives of pilots and ground crews.
🚨 DRONE = STAY ON THE GROUND! 🚨
🔥 Let emergency responders do their work safely.

⚠️ A pyrocumulus cloud is currently forming above the fire.
This cloud forms when the intense heat released by the fire causes a rapid rise of hot air, smoke, and moisture into the atmosphere. 🌡️⬆️☁️
🔥 Its formation generally indicates intense fire activity and significant air movements around the fire.
⚠️ What are the dangers?
💨 Winds that can suddenly become strong and change direction.
🔥 A faster and sometimes unpredictable spread of the fire.
🌪️ Turbulence and significant air movements near the fire.
⚡ In the most intense cases, the cloud can develop into a pyrocumulonimbus and produce thunderstorm conditions, or even lightning.
🚨 Avoid the area and do not approach the fire to observe it or take photos.
