For all the smoke and fury it is interesting to me that nobody points out that every single time one opens a relief valve on a given system, the pressure will drop. Eventually it will drop to zero such as when hundreds of fire hydrants are being tapped to fight enormous wild fires over vast areas. Nobody on earth could keep a system strained to that degree producing high pressure water. My differences with bad government also let me embrace reality and the only thing that could control wildfires is brush removal and serious fire breaks and California government pointedly refuses to do either or even allow you to do it. That’s the true offensive part of burning California.

That is a fact. There is always, eventually some kind of spark from some of someone, and the only way to stop it is to remove the fuel. And physics can't get ignored like it does in cartoons.
They have already admitted they never filled the system. But they did mange to paint fire hydrants with LGBTQRSVP colors...
The Palisades fire went up the hills and canyon walls so they were already pumping water uphill to fight fires and in the meantime they were depressurizing the system everywhere. It didn't matter if they had an ocean, they were not equipped to fight the fires. Look at Malibu right on the coast where the houses burned where any old CHENG would have had 1000gpm pumps taking suction on the ocean and providing endless torrents of water. People just don't know how fire works or how to keep it out or how to extinguish it. Against a massive wild fire WATER ALONE DOES NOT WORK.
In the region of a high fire environment (easily started by lightning strikes attracted to/begun from the tops of tall coniferous trees) has anyone ever considered establishing manufacturing plants (and storage facilities) to condense Carbon Dioxide that can be cooled and condensed into blocks of dry ice which can be dropped into areas of high temperature displacing the oxygen that a fire so desperately needs
At least some of the fires are the work of a terrorist with connection to the UN. This is all on purpose.
I volunteer one day a week for the fund raising side of our VFD. We run a garage sale one a month and gross $4k per month. Insurance is $8k a year. In the last 50 years, we have bought a dozen used fire trucks, our oldest active member is 98, one other in their 90s, three 80s, four 70s, four 60s and four 50s. We have 18 firemen, 8 of which show up at the point of the spear, 2011 and 12 we had big fires we lost 352 houses.One of our volunteers had the last house to burn. My friend from Ca insists VFD is paid as do 30% of the public. Firemen get free drinks at the gas station. Local is better, but limited.
