The heat is here. The fuels are noticing. Across many parts of the country, grasses and other vegetation are drying out, temperatures are climbing, and fire danger is increasing. With hot, dry conditions expected across much of the West, now is a good time to review your wildfire preparedness plans, know local fire restrictions, and recreate responsibly. A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow. Visit ready.gov/wildfires for more information on how to prepare yourself, community, and families.

If you fly, we can’t! Drones near wildfires are dangerous and can shut down firefighting operations. When unauthorized drones are in the area, fire managers must ground all aircraft — including helicopters and airtankers needed to slow the fire’s spread. This puts firefighters, communities, and public lands at greater risk. Only authorized aircraft are allowed near wildfires. By keeping your drone grounded, you help wildland firefighters do their jobs safely and effectively. Protect those who protect Arizona’s public lands — don’t fly near wildfires.

If you’re near wildfire activity, don’t fly your drone. Unauthorized drones put wildland firefighters and aviation crews at risk and can force firefighting aircraft to stop flying, delaying wildfire response efforts. If you fly, we can’t. And during a wildfire, every second counts. Learn more: knowbeforeyoufly.org

Did you know? More than 53 drone incursions occurred near wildfires nationwide in 2025 alone. Unauthorized drones create serious risks for first responders and can force firefighting aircraft to stop operations. Capturing wildfire footage may be tempting, but flying a drone near a wildfire puts firefighters and aviation crews at risk of a catastrophic collision. As wildfire activity increases, help protect our firefighters, aircraft, and public lands by keeping drones away from wildfires. Find drone incursions statistics here: nifc.gov/fire-information/st…

From forests and deserts to mountains and grasslands, these landscapes help define who we are. Wildland firefighters work to protect these places so they can be experienced for generations to come. As we mark America 250, we continue that commitment across the country.

Check in on your crew and colleagues. A buddy check can go a long way. Taking a moment to ask how someone is doing shows you care and creates space for support. During Mental Health Awareness Month, make it a habit to check in with friends and coworkers. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MHAM2026
