Don’t fly drones within nine kilometres of a wildland fire. Drones interfere with wildland firefighting operations and put pilots, FireRangers and other emergency personnel at risk. Flying drones near fires is dangerous and illegal.

If you live in a wildland fire prone area, be #FireSmart and properly remove and store combustible materials. Clear natural debris like dry leaves, move firewood at least 10 meters away from your home and store items like toys inside. Info: ontario.ca/firesmart #ProtectOntario
