Drone Over Gilman Fire, Intense Fire Fight Caught on Camera | La Jolla | 20250123 Pt.7

Описание: Newsreel Media was first on scene of a brushfire during a red flag danger alert for fires, triggered by extremely low humidity, high winds, and no rain for almost 9 months.

Our camera caught what appears to be a drone flying very close to a SDFD fire helicopter seconds after it dropped a load of water onto a flaming hillside.

Just after the drone is recorded, someone yells "DRONE!", and 2 firefights are looking and pointing at the area the drone was flying. One firefighter runs down the street toward other fire crews, and appears to be pointing again at the area of the drone.

Police were able to locate the drone pilot in an apartment complex on a ridge just above the fire. The drone was brought down and air support resumed.

Drones are prohibited by both state and federal laws from flying near a wildfire. The FAA also prohibits flying near manned aircraft.

Several water drops were also caught on camera, along with over 175 firefighters battling the blaze.

The fire was limited to 3 acres, with no injuries and no structures lost.

Remember folks, all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
