Drone hits, grounds super scooper fighting LA fires
An aircraft fighting to put out the Palisades Fire over Los Angeles was grounded after hitting a drone in midair on Thursday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The Palisades Fire broke out on Jan. 6, in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, and has since burned more than 19,000 acres, claimed at least two lives and destroyed thousands of buildings. Devastating Santa Ana winds on Tuesday made the firefight difficult in the air until Wednesday. On Thursday, the FAA reported that an aircraft struck a drone over the fire while trying to fight the flames. The "super scooper" was grounded because of the damage from the impact, officials told the Los Angeles Times.
