A new law proposed in California would allow firefighters to destroy drones flying in areas where emergency crews are working.

According to the Associated Press, several air tankers dropping fire retardant on the blaze Wednesday evening were forced to land after one of the pilots spotted a drone flying in the area.

Hundreds of firefighters on Wednesday were struggling to contain a massive blaze that had broken out last week near the Alpine County town of Markleeville, California, just southeast of Lake Tahoe.
