A wildfire in Arizona is currently burning out of control, having more than doubled in size overnight. The wildcat fire has ravaged over 12,000 acres of the state's largest national forest and is currently 0% contained. Fire officials are facing challenges not only from the weather but also from drone operators.
Firefighters are struggling to contain the blaze due to the interference caused by drones flying near the fire. These drones are hindering the firefighting efforts from the sky and pose a risk of mid-air collisions. Fire officials are urgently appealing to drone operators to cease flying near the wildfire, emphasizing that the drones' presence is impeding their ability to combat the fire effectively.
