Drone Hits Helicopter During Fire | California News
Description
A brush fire near the Encino Reservoir forced evacuations, sparked by downed power lines, but chaos hit when a drone collided with a police helicopter mid-response—forcing an emergency landing. The mayor called it unacceptable and illegal, vowing arrests and prosecution for the drone operator, citing prior incidents like the Palisades crash. Though firefighters quickly contained the blaze with 153 personnel, the drone disruption severely hampered operations. No injuries occurred, but the city sent a clear message: interfering with emergency response will not be tolerated.
