A pair of Quebec water bombers and their crews are in California helping fight the massive wildfires tearing through the Los Angeles area.

Stéphane Caron of Quebec’s forest fire protection agency — SOPFEU — says the two planes are sent to the U.S. each fall as part of an annual contract, the length of which was extended this year because of the emergency.

BC Wildfire Service is ready to jump in and help the fire fight against fierce wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area.

At this time, the service tells Glacier Media it has not been called upon.
