Crane Co-Leads Bipartisan Legislation to Improve Aerial Firefighting Safety	2025-12-11	2025	2025-12	Republican	House	AZ	Elijah Crane	C001132	crane.house.gov	crane	https://crane.house.gov/media/	scraper	Today, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) joined Reps. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Janelle Bynum (D-OR), and Joe Neguse (D-CO) in introducing the Wildfire Aerial Response Safety Act of 2025 to improve aerial firefighting safety. The legislation directs the Federal Aviation Administration, in consultation with the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture, to study the effects of unauthorized drone activity on firefighting operations across federal lands. The resulting report would help Congress better understand the issue and develop policies to mitigate risks. Specifically, the study would collect data on the number of drone incursions, their impact on suppression efforts, associated delays, and additional costs to the federal government. It would also evaluate prevention measures such as counter-drone technologies and infrastructure, as well as public education campaigns highlighting the dangers of drone interference. Within 18 months of enactment, the findings and policy recommendations must be submitted to the relevant congressional committees. Given Arizona’s frequent wildfires and rising unauthorized drone usage, Rep. Crane recognizes the importance of removing obstacles to suppression operations.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T20:09:11Z
