Not saying this is a good idea anywhere that hasn't chosen the "chaotic evil" option for every aspect of gun control, but here in the US I think we should start equipping firetrucks with a 20 gauge shotgun with birdshot so if they are in an emergency and a drone is impeding their ability to mitigate a dangerous unfolding natural disaster they can shoot it down.

(also only public firefighters, ughh "private firefighters" sums up 2020s US doesn't it)

would this be dangerous?

.. imagine if we just handed out handguns and ar-15s to people who were less trained and probably a lot more prone to violence... but yes I would only suggest this if it was kept under an emergency lock and key in a lockbox under the supervision of the ranking firefighter.

Also a firefighter decked out in fire safety gear near a fire engine shouldering a shotgun to shoot down a drone is going to be immediately understood NOT as an escalation unlike a cop doing so.
