DJI drones get wildfire awareness
DJI and AirMap have added real-time wildfire alerts to their geofencing data to keep drones from interfering with firefighting operations.
Unauthorised drones near wildfires can pose a hazard to firefighting aeroplanes and helicopters.
AirMap obtains wildfire information from the U.S. Department of the Interior’s incident command system and immediately pushes it to drone pilots.
This is done through AirMap’s iOS and web apps, AirMap’s API, and the GEO geofencing system included in the DJI GO flight control app.
This data is more current and includes more active wildfires than Temporary Flight Restrictions published by the Federal Aviation Administration.
