Colorado is sending resources to help California crews fighting multiple wildfires burning near Los Angeles, state officials said Wednesday. California requested one of Colorado’s two multi-mission aircraft to assist with firefighting and the plane is taking off from the Centennial Airport today, according to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. Colorado’s two multi-mission aircraft are Pilatus PC-12 airplanes equipped with infrared and color-sensing technology to detect and provide reconnaissance on wildfires, which helps ground crews attack the fires. Three major wildfires — the Palisades, Eaton and Hurst fires — are burning near Los Angeles, fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds.
