That’s just a stupid assumption.

When Santa Ana winds are blowing 70-100 mph, air assets are grounded. Also when winds are at gale force speeds, it doesn’t matter how many fire fighters / air assets you have, shit will burn and burn fast.

        I’d care if the person was picked for being a trans rather than for his skill/merit. But hey…. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:11pm 1/14/25

  - Yes, that's for ground game, a part of whole fire fighting strategy. Air game is missing too - Eli - 3:19pm 1/14/25
    - Was just throwing that out there, I agree with you [NT] - Frankx - 3:45pm 1/14/25
- It's Beriev Be-200, a jet-powered amphibious water-scooping plane made by Russia. [LINK] - Eli - 3:02pm 1/14/25
  - Is there fresh water where this plane can scoop nearby? [LINK] - Curly1918 - 5:03pm 1/14/25
    - Air plane's salt water won't affect fire fighters on the ground who can still use fresh water with - Eli - 7:35pm 1/14/25
      - No dumb ass… - Domer From Hell - 8:29pm 1/14/25
  - Later locals in CA wanted to lease Be-200. Only $8 m per fire season or $12 m/yr. Very affordable [NT] [LINK] - Eli - 3:17pm 1/14/25
  - In early years Beriev Be-200 was planed to build in US [NT] [LINK] - Eli - 3:08pm 1/14/25
