Water-dropping choppers were brought in to help keep the fire from spreading. The Los Angeles Police Department said a drone smacked into one of its helicopters, which was dispatched to the scene of the fire. Police said the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing.



I can entirely believe that there are idiots out there who would try to tackle a fire with their garden hose or a few buckets in the car. Being able to spot them quickly and let the professionals do their job safely is important.
But it’s lemmy. They’re all hardwired to scream ‘ACAB’ utterly regardless of context.
Right? It’s crazy how much of an echo chamber lemmy is on some topics, it’s impossible to carry on a conversation of any nuance.
