The Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture asks the public not to operate drones near active forest fires.
Drones near active fire zones pose a significant safety risk to firefighting efforts, particularly to air operations.
Unauthorized drone use can result in fines and legal action.
Information on flying drones is available on the Transport Canada website.
