Anyone else received a email from FAA?

[Top Hat]

Just got 1 today, it's regarding fire safety and flying drones in areas where there's fire fighting operations going on. I would post a link but hard to do it on phone. Just want to share this. Fly Safe!

It's why the FAA registration was _really_ created... to push this type of information.

Unfortunately, some drone owners cannot exercise common sense and stay out of the way of first responders or not put themselves at risk for the sake of a YouTube video.

I got the email, too.
Just a day or two before that, There was a story on our local news that Cal Fire, the folks who fight the wild fires on the ground and in the air, were having to ground all the fire fighting aircraft because of a close incident with a drone. I don't know how long operations were suspended, but it seems with most of the state on fire, even a few hours are precious!!
