I am on the local fire volunteer fire department and also act as their photography. I also use the drone on occasion. We had a report of smoke in the area and drove in and out of ever road in the area and could see and smell smoke but could not fine origins of the fire. I had my drone but did not have a microSD card so took a screenshot. Was able to locate the prescribed burn (which had not been reported to authorities) and everyone was able to go back home and finish dinner...

You can see that the smoke was holding close to the ground and was very smoky back over from where the drone was located.
