The Spokane Complex fires continue burning with thousands of families still evacuated, but unauthorized drones have been making the firefighting more dangerous by getting in the way. The unauthorized drones are flying into restricted airspace over fire zones and are forcing aerial firefighting operations to stop all over the city. On August 2, the system detected 26 unauthorized drones operating in restricted airspace. The next day, on August 3, there were another 13 unauthorized drones detected.
