# You Have to Watch This Stunt Where They Light a Flying Drone on Fire

- This is clearly not something to be tried at home. The stunt was pulled off with the help of Nassau County's Fire Service Academy.
- According to the advertising agency, "a special pyro technician had to figure out how to coat the aircraft so it burns in a way that the human shape reads well (instead of it looking like a big flaming ball)."
- Maybe one day, instead of watching fireworks, people will watch pyrotechnic drones.
