MONTREAL — Quebec said Friday it will send two more firefighting aircraft to California, a day after one of the province’s water bombers collided with a drone while battling the wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area.
“During the terrible wildfire season of 2023, we were able to count on the help of our allies around the world. It's important to do the same for our neighbours to the south,” Bonnardel said. The L.A. County Fire Department said one CL-415 plane, known as Quebec 1, was damaged after it was struck by a civilian drone at 1 p.m. Thursday in the city’s Pacific Palisades neighbourhood, where dozens of blocks have been flattened to smouldering rubble, with only the outlines of homes and their chimneys left.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it has launched an investigation into the collision. “It’s a federal crime, punishable by up to 12 months in prison, to interfere with firefighting efforts on public lands,” the agency said on its website Thursday. A fine of up to US$75,000 can also be imposed.
