Supervisor Michael Antonovich with Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Osby, representatives from Quebec and county fire pilots announced the arrival of two CL-415 SuperScoopers and an Erickson Type 1 Helitanker to fight Southern California brush fires.

The SuperScoopers and Helitanker were leased from the government of Quebec for Los Angeles County’s fire season.

“To ensure that we are prepared for fire season, these vital aircrafts have been requested to supplement our fire department’s water dropping helicopters,” said Antonovich.
