“When you fly, we can’t”That’s the message being put out by the Minnesota Incident Command System in direct response to a firefighting effort Tuesday afternoon, March 12th at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park.The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources helicopter was on-site dropping water on the flames and had just landed to refuel.Firefighters then spotted a drone in the airspace while the helicopter was on the ground.Fortunately, the drone was able to be confirmed as landed, allowing the helicopter to be cleared to return to base.MICS and the DNR expressed concerns that the drone’s interference could have delayed being able to get the fire out and count themselves as lucky this time.The small one-acre fire was close to historic buildings at Split Rock but was fortunately spotted quickly and rapidly extinguished before it could spread further.
