MONTREAL — Firefighting aircraft provided by the Quebec government and a B.C.-based company are helping to battle the massive wildfires tearing through the Los Angeles area.

They include a pair of Canadian-made water-bombing planes out of Quebec, as well as Coulson Aviation’s helicopters that the company says are “on the frontline” of the fight.

Coulson says in a social media post that its crews are “braving high winds and challenging conditions” in the fight against the Palisades fire.
