Two Arrested For Flying Drones Above Eaton Fire, Sheriff’s Department Says


Two people have been arrested for flying drones in the areas affected by the Eaton Fire, following the grounding of a plane after a drone collision.

Two people have been arrested for flying unauthorized drones in the areas affected by the Eaton Fire, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Captain Jabari Williams said, per CNS. Though Canada sent dozens of reinforcements and a Super Scooper plane — which can gather 1,500 gallons of ocean water to drop on the fires — the aircraft was forced to go off-duty after it was hit Jan. 9 as it was working to suppress the Palisades blaze. In additional fire updates, authorities estimate the combined blazes will cost $150 billion, marking the state emergency as the costliest wildfire in Southern California history.
