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.
Didn’t that guy who clipped the firefighting plane get banned from drones and like $100,000 in repair costs + penalties? Seems like a pretty good deterrent to me
I’ll trust your word on it, I can’t remember. I do remember there was something like 50 illegal drones over the Eaton Fire the other year. Not enough of a deterrent it seems.
