Using unmanned aerial systems to support wildfire operations. 

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, are used to gather real-time aerial intelligence, map fire progression, identify hot spots, and produce detailed maps that help firefighters make tactical decisions.

Recently, trained UAS operators from the CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit documented their work supporting mop-up operations on the Chute Fire by the CAL FIRE Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit. 

By working closely with aviation resources to avoid airspace conflicts, UAS can help make mop-up operations more efficient.
