California Wildfires Spur Drone Investigation

Ben Affleck's Brentwood home has been surrounded by a significant military and law enforcement presence due to the ongoing Palisades fire and an investigation into a drone collision with a firefighting aircraft. The military presence, including a National Guard Humvee, is not connected to Affleck personally but is part of efforts to manage the wildfires, which have claimed 27 lives and devastated thousands of acres. Affleck, who evacuated to ex-wife Jennifer Garner's home for safety, appeared unfazed by the military presence outside his property. Authorities are seeking footage to identify those responsible for the illegal drone activity, which is a federal crime. The fires, which are partially contained, have necessitated support from Canadian air tankers and ongoing emergency response efforts. Garner is actively involved in relief efforts, providing trauma care to affected children through Save The Children.
