Today the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office arrested a person for operating an unmanned aircraft, commonly referred to as a drone, in the airspace of the Goodwin Fire. On June 28th, numerous firefighting aircraft were being used on the fire at the time the drone was spotted. Because of this intrusion the airspace had to be immediately cleared due to the danger the drone posed to aircraft. The public is reminded that the use of drones near wildfires is illegal and can cause the loss of homes and possible injury or death of members of the public and or firefighters.
