Canadian aircraft, including two CL-415 planes from Quebec and helicopters from B.C.-based Coulson Aviation, are at the forefront of efforts to combat the massive wildfires engulfing Los Angeles. Quebec’s aerial service, led by head pilot Pascal Duclos, has been actively involved in water-bombing operations amid challenging conditions such as high winds and heavy turbulence.
