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.
“At the request of U.S. authorities, we will be sending two additional water bombers … and their crews as early as Jan. 15,“ Quebec Public Security Minister François Bonnardel said on the X platform. ”In total, Quebec will provide California with four water bombers.”
