TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) are in place over the Boulder, Dollar, Snag, and Goat Fires. Yesterday morning, an aircraft entered the restricted zone without authorization, temporarily grounding fire aircraft and hampering firefighting efforts. Such incidents are reported to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for further review. Wildfires are a no-fly zone for unauthorized aircraft, including drones. TFRs are critical for firefighter and aircraft safety. If you fly, we can’t. For more information, visit http://knowbeforeyoufly.org.
