How are DJI drones flying over the wildfires?

I turned my drone on today to show my friend the camera quality. I was in airspace that needed authorization to fly in. The DJI app said my drone couldn't even take off.

If the drone won't let you take off in restricted airspace, how are the people in LA flying their drones? I checked on the map in the DJI app and nearly all of LA is in restricted airspace, and the fire areas are marked no go zones. How are people getting their drones in the sky in these areas?
