Please. This needs to stop. Drones endanger the safety of our people in the air AND on the ground. As a flow on, it also endangers the community as a whole because aircraft get grounded, and ground crews have to work harder. Just don't, please.

Your drone footage is not worth more than our members’ lives

Aerial firefighting at the Katarapko fire was forced to stop after an illegal recreational drone was spotted overhead.

That one drone grounded aircraft, delayed firefighting, and put air crews at serious risk.

This is the third drone incident this month.

Drones can collide with aircraft causing catastrophic consequences.

👉 If you fly, we can’t. Keep drones well away from firegrounds.

Update: Victor Harbor road has now reopened to traffic.

Please be aware that CFS, SES, SAPOL, and SAAS are on scene at a collision on Victor Harbor Road, south of Pambula Road. Please follow directions as given by crews, and remember 25 km/ph when passing reds and blues.
