Those Helicopters that dump water are pretty husky rigs. Seems like they could mow over a few tiny drones without an issue.
I'd think the prop wash of those helicopters would down or displace recreational quadcopters before they were ever a danger.
That fire was pushed by 40+mph winds. Shit was going to burn either way.
Not sure how they managed, because it would be tough to fly a quadcopter in winds that high.
