I operated a drone at only a few feet AGL near my residence. I believe that around the same time but several miles from my residence was a small brush fire that fire slurry bombers and helicopters were dropping retardant and water from a local reservoir throughout the day.
UAV Operator reported he operated his drone at home a few miles from a fire where other aircraft were dropping retardant.
