## Resource

A drone buzzed into a raging wildfire in Sorrento Valley, forcing firefighting planes to land and giving the blaze 30 minutes to grow more dangerous. This isn’t an isolated incident—firefighters across California have been warning the public for years to keep drones grounded near wildfires, but it keeps happening. These low-flying drones are nearly invisible and disrupt critical water drops, worsening fire control. San Diego lacks detection tech but relies on ground crews to spot them, likely missing most incidents. With drone footage of fires going viral and federal penalties up to two years in prison, a campaign urges: “If you fly, we can’t.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
