The FBI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect after a civilian drone collided with a Canadian “Super Scooper” aircraft engaged in fighting the Palisades Fire. The incident occurred on Thursday, resulting in the grounding of the aircraft.
According to FBI Assistant Director Akil Davis, the use of aircraft in fire suppression efforts is a crucial tool for firefighters in containing wildfires. The collision with the drone has significantly impacted these efforts, potentially leading to the growth of the fire, property damage, loss of life, and posing a danger to the surrounding areas.
