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.

Quebec Public Security Minister François Bonnardel said on X that “at the request of U.S. authorities, we will be sending two additional water bombers … and their crews as early as Jan. 15.”
