La Wildfires: A person pleads guilty in a flying drone that got into a Canadian aircraft

The man agreed to admit his guilt in an unauthorized control of a drone that faced the Canadian fire plane during a deadly Palisades fire in Los -engeles, US authorities said on Friday.

Peter Tripp Akeman has reached a guilt agreement and escaped prison, but he will pay full restitution for damage to the aircraft and will make 150 hours of public services in facilitating a fire, Joseph McNef’s acting prosecutor said. Misconduct that faced with misconduct, faced with the punishment of up to one year of year.

The collision on January 9 led to the fact that the fire service aircraft was grounded for several days.

Akil Davis, an assistant director responsible for the FBI FBI FBI -Angeles FBI Office, stated that there was no evidence that Akeman intentionally caused a collision.

“The lack of common sense and ignorance of your duty as a drone pilot will not protect you from criminal accusations,” he said.

Officials say that the plane was the owner of the Quebec government, and that Akeman agreed to pay $ 65,000 costs to repair the government and the company that recorded the aircraft.

Akeman is planned to appear in court on Friday afternoon.

The explosion, driven by the wind in high -class Pacific Palisades, began on January 7, destroying or damaging almost 8,000 homes, enterprises and other structures and kills at least 12 people.

The hostage, fueled by the dry winds of Santa -a, released at least 36 square miles (94 square kilometers) of the Earth. It was 98%contained as of Friday.

The authorities claim that Akeman launched a drone from the top of the parking lot in Santa -Monica on January 9 and flew more than 1.5 miles to the fire of Palisades before losing his place. He then crashed with the Super Scooper Fire Service aircraft, which transported two firefighters.

The pilot was able to plant an aircraft, despite the hole in the left wing caused by contact with the drone.

The drone operations were banned in the area at that time because of the shootout.

Davis stated that in Los -Angeles in the coming years there will be several major events, including the World Cup, Super Cup and Olympiad, and this will be the responsibility of drone operators to know that the areas are limited to them.

“FAA has very strict instructions for registration of drones and where you can fly drones. The top is on the pilot if firefighters are a fire with aircraft, which should be a hint, ”he said.

The fire in the hilly district of Los -Angeles, where Hollywood stars live, such as Jamie Lee Curtis and Billy Crystal, who lost their homes on fire, forced thousands of people from their homes and knocked power up to tens of thousands.

Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the fire. Officials have given the origin of Blaise behind the house on the pedestr -Moradi Drive, which sits over the densely wooded Arroo.

Another fire that began with the wind that began on the same day in Altaden, a community, located in 35 miles (56 kilometers) east of the Pacific Palisades, died at least 17 people, destroyed or damaged more than 10,000 houses and other buildings.

Santa -Ana winds turned seasonal fires into infernos that leveled the neighborhoods in and around Los -Angeles, where there was no significant amount of rainfall for more than eight months.

Several residents of Altaden, who lost their homes in the fire of Iton, said AP that they did not receive notifications about their neighborhoods. For others, the first warning was an urgent text message in the middle of the night.

On Tuesday, Los Angeles officials approved an external overview of how the notifications operate in the fire of Iton and Palisades in response to the requirements of the residents. City officials refused to answer the questions of the Associated Press on the lag in some palisades fire notifications, although the fire captain Branden Silverman stated that it may take some time to respond to the fire and to determine the evacuation needs.
