LOS ANGELES -- The FBI released new photos of a damaged water-dropping super scooper firefighting aircraft that collided with a drone over the Palisades Fire.

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.

Cal Fire will receive two more CL-415 Super Scoopers from a Canadian non-profit to replace the one damaged Thursday by a drone strike as it was fighting the Palisades Fire, The War Zone has learned. This will take the total force of Super Scoopers currently available to Cal Fire from one to three.

Drones and other aircraft not helping with firefighting efforts are prohibited in temporary flight restriction zones around wildfires.

The FBI is searching for whoever flew a drone that damaged a firefighting plane in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Fire Department said on X, formerly Twitter, this SuperScooper plane was flying over the Palisades fire when it collided with a civilian drone over Malibu.
