The aircraft, commonly referred to as a ‘super scooper,’ was conducting fire suppression operations at the Palisades Fire near Malibu, California, and was able to land safely. The collision left a 3 x 6 inch hole in the left wing. Parts of the heavily damaged drone were recovered. The FBI has set up a Digital Media Tipline, and is seeking the public’s help in order to identify the operator of the drone.
