Multiple drone pilots are arrested by California police amidst the ongoing battle against the Los Angeles wildfires.

Authorities reported numerous encounters with aerial operations, potentially hampering lifesaving measures as wildfires rage throughout Southern California, resulting in the arrest of three people following two drone incidents.

According to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna, two arrests were made as a result of a single drone incident, but charges had not been released as of Monday afternoon.

""First responders need to focus on their work in evacuation areas, so if you don't have business there, stay away," Luna stated in a Monday press conference."

The Federal Aviation Administration's investigations are hindering Cal Fire's ability to provide information about the incidents, according to Cal Fire's statement to Planet Chronicle Digital.

Planet Chronicle Digital was instructed by the FAA to contact local authorities for information regarding the arrests.

A Super Scooper plane was grounded for a few days after a civilian drone struck its wing, leaving a "fist-sized hole."

"Akil Davis, FBI assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles Field Office, stated that they are collaborating with public and private sector partners to determine the drone operator responsible for the incident. However, since the incident, they have had over 10 contacts with drone operators, during which they issued warnings and fines in previous years."

One of two aircraft loaned from Quebec, the plane flies at low altitudes to collect water from the ocean and extinguish wildfires.

The Super Scooper is expected to return to the air on Tuesday, pending FAA approval. Initially, authorities anticipated it would be back in service by Monday.

Federal authorities have issued warnings to the public to avoid flying drones in wildfire areas. Temporary flight restrictions have been established above the affected zones, and ground teams have been deployed to intercept pilots who violate FAA restrictions.

The FAA has not granted permission to anyone not associated with the Los Angeles firefighting operations to operate drones within the TFRs, as stated by the FAA to Planet Chronicle Digital.

On Saturday evening, Los Angeles County Deputy Fire Chief Robert Harris stated that forty-eight privately owned drones were detected in wildfire zones.

The FAA has issued a warning about the risks of drone interference with first responders, particularly during wildfire battles. Low-altitude flights by aircraft fighting fires could lead to collisions with drones or distract pilots. Moreover, drones may lose connection and fall from the sky, posing a threat to firefighters or civilians on the ground.

The use of drones in wildfire zones could lead to the grounding of first responder aircraft, potentially causing delays and endangering the safety of firefighters, civilians, and structures.

In law enforcement, drones may be one of our greatest dangers at present, according to Davis.

Interfering with firefighting operations on public land can result in a federal crime with a maximum sentence of 12 months in prison. Additionally, the FAA can impose a civil penalty of up to $75,000 on drone pilots who interfere with wildfire suppression or law enforcement efforts during temporary flight restrictions.

The FAA advises the public to submit any infractions of Federal Aviation Regulations through their FAA Hotline web form.
