San Diego Police Deploy Drones to Enforce Fireworks Bans This Fourth of July — Oceanside Uses DJI M30T

Multiple cities in San Diego County, California deployed police drones over the Fourth of July weekend to enforce fireworks bans. Oceanside, Escondido, and Carlsbad updated local ordinances this year, combining steep fines with joint drone-and-ground patrols. Oceanside's 15-drone fleet — including the DJI M30T thermal model — ran 7-hour patrol windows with 2–3 aircraft airborne simultaneously, driven by California's annual toll of over 1,000 fireworks-related wildfires and $19.6 million in property losses recorded in 2025 alone.
