An illegal drone collided with a plane fighting Los Angeles fires on January 9, but there have been no reports of a crash involving such an aircraft, contrary to claims on social media.

Al Jazeera posted a similar clip showing the crash in January 2024, predating the California wildfires by a year.

POV video shared on social media showed a firefighter extinguishing flames in a house in Chile, not California, contrary to claims online.

India Today found that the video has nothing to do with the Los Angeles wildfires. This January 2024 video is from the South American country Chile.

We, then, ran relevant keyword searches and found that Al Jazeera also uploaded the same video on their YouTube page on 16 January 2024. It noted that the crash claimed the life of the pilot and at least four people were injured.
