“A #wildfire is a #NoDroneZone,” it tweeted.

“Do NOT fly drones near fires. There’s already been drone spotted this morning which is a danger to choppers.”

The organisations currently fighting the blaze have employed the use of helicopters. At least one is currently on the scene waterbombing the area.
