Drones stop water bombers from extinguishing wildfires in White Shell Provincial Park, Manitoba
According to the province, a water bomber trying to extinguish a forest fire in eastern Manitoba had to turn back after a manned drone blocked its way.
It happened on Saturday as the plane was preparing to extinguish the fire in Whiteshell Provincial Park near the Ontario border. When a drone blocked its flight path, the water bomber was flying over the south shore of Lake West Hawk.
The water bomber had to turn back, putting the firefighters on the ground in danger.
Don Harlett, assistant director of the Manitoba Wildfire Bureau, said: “This may get worse than before, just because someone pilots a drone.” “Thankfully, the ground crew can do what we need them to do.”
