The Airspace Above Wildfires Explained—and Why You Need to Stay Out

https://youtu.be/TD7_kpHCyak?si=v-o9yQEyqZrS54LG

nice 11 minute video from 2025

other aircraft should stay 15 miles from any fires - most fires are
reported / spotted quickly and there really is no need for general
aviation aircraft to scout the fire - (not my words - their words)

seems they could specify a typical altitude for emergency aircraft
versus a typical altitude for general aviationa aircraft - maybe not -
maybe its too complicated in mountainous areas

all aircraft share common radio channels - but they were 15 minutes
late setting up the radio channels on the Palisades Fire - right?
