This was on the internet today: "Amateur drones grounding firefighting aircraft is not a new problem. Last year, the US Forest Service started a campaign to try to curb the practice. State lawmakers tried to increase fines for those who are discovered flying a drone too close to fire-fighting operations, although California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed that bill."

I wonder why the governor of California vetoed this, maybe be he has a drone import business!!! I believe a fine of $100,000.00 per occurrence and 10 years in jail without parole would help curb the drone intrusions!!
