Good that the cranes are back in the air and that no one was seriously injured.

A slightly off thread question but last week we had a small amarda of rotary and fixed wing aircraft attacking a fire across the valley. Our house seems to be a waypoint for the rotary stuff east going south and slightly west going north. I could follow a lot of activity on Flightradar including the big stuff like the 737 coming down from 20000 ft and its leader at 7500 feet and the RJ85 coming in and going but when they hit a "box" around the fireground they simply disappeared like the transponders were turned off. Other rotary and fixed wing aircraft could be followed continuously in the same "box". Any ideas?
