CNN —A Canadian “Super Scooper” aircraft fighting the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles had to be grounded after it hit a drone flying in restricted airspace over the devastating blaze on Thursday, the local fire department said. The specifically designed CL-415 firefighting planes are used to scoop up more than 1,500 gallons of ocean water to drop on active fires. The plane in question, Quebec 1, “sustained wing damage and remains grounded and out of service,” Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Erik Scott said, adding that there were no reported injuries. The midair collision is now under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration, which said the firefighting aircraft landed safely. The FAA underscored late Thursday that it “has not authorized anyone unaffiliated with the Los Angeles firefighting operations to fly drones” in restricted airspace put in place over the wildfires.

People drive out of harm’s way as the Palisades Fire burns on January 7 in Pacific Palisades, California. The Palisades Fire was first spotted just after 10 a.m. local time in the mountains north of Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades neighborhood on the west side of the city and has since spread to 200 acres, according to CalFire. Stronger wind gusts are likely occurring in the higher elevations where the fire is burning. Winds will continue to increase Tuesday into Wednesday across Southern California, including where the Palisades Fire is burning. Wind gusts near the fire could reach 45 mph during the day Tuesday and hit 70 mph at times overnight.

CNN —Coolio, the ’90s rapper who lit up the music charts with hits like “Gangsta’s Paradise” and “Fantastic Voyage,” has died, his friend and manager Jarez Posey, told CNN. When they arrived, they found an unresponsive male and performed “resuscitation efforts for approximately 45 minutes.”The patient “was determined dead just before 5:00 p.m.,” Scott said. Coolio was a friend and one of the warmest, funniest people I’ve ever met. Arguably his biggest song, “Gangsta’s Paradise,” from the soundtrack to the film “Dangerous Minds,” grew his star power to gigantic proportions. “I didn’t use any trendy words…I think it made it timeless.”Over his career, Coolio sold more than 17 million records, according to his website.
