The Québec government is proud to have capitalized on Quebec’s know-how in fighting forest fires with the Los Angeles County Fire Department for over 20 years, and this, to the benefit of the population of Los Angeles County (LACoDD).
Each year, Quebec has been sending two Bombardier CL-415 water bombers at the disposal of the Los Angeles Fire Department to help fight the brush fires during that season.
Today, the Quebec Government Office in Los Angeles is taking part in a press- conference organized to officially announce the arrival of the aircrafts and their crews that are currently in California, ready to intervene if needed.
This cooperation agreement between Quebec and the Los Angeles County Fire Department is a unique experience that enriches the fight against fires in Quebec, year after year.
