If true, OU, I expect those officials responsible to be punished to the full extent of the law - like the Jefferson Parish officials were; you know, the ones who didn’t sandbag the highways cutting through the 17th Street Canal. Or the ones who sent the pump operators to the North Shore, so no one was there to release the vacuum on the discharge side of the horizontal pumps that backflowed and flooded the northern end of JP.
That level of incompetence is what I expect from government, because everywhere I look it’s what I see from government. We can’t take away responsibilities like fire protection and police, but for goodness sake don’t let them take over health care or dictate transportation policy. This is another example of “That government is best that governs least.”

You’re not very bright, but I think you are being overly harsh on yourself.

There’s a reason why so many people are pointing out how dumb your posts in that thread are.

They had 3 million gallons at their disposal. They could have had 120 million gallons at their disposal. Seems like those extra 117,000,000 gallons might have helped.
That is not what he was arguing. The math OP did was not legitimate. The average water needs for a fire is for a single house fire situation.
I don't think anyone here is arguing that the additional 117 million gallons would not have helped.

Believe me, I know it! Interesting the way you take refuge behind the herd. You don’t need them; you have a reasoning mind of your own.

If you don’t think my riposte rises to your standards please go back and read yours to which I was responding.

That is not valid because these were not “house fires”. These were forest fires that reached houses. You can’t save the house by just fighting the fire in the house. It will simply restart when the burning hillside catches it on fire again
Wait.... What? So, once the forest fire has passed by the house and caught it on fire, if the fire is put out..... the forest fire will return and catch it on fire again???
No wonder California can't stop these forest fires.
It's smart fire! LoL

No. I’m saying it requires more water to save a typical house in a forest fire then in a regular house fire, because in the first case you still have external sources, while in the second you don’t.

The increase in lithium ion batteries and other batteries is very significant in wildfires.

Hundreds ordered to evacuate as fire erupts at huge California battery storage plant
About 1,500 people were instructed to leave Moss Landing and the Elkhorn Slough area.
The Moss Landing Power Plant, located about 77 miles south of San Francisco, is owned by Texas-company Vistra Energy and contains tens of thousands of lithium batteries. The batteries are important for storing electricity from such renewable energy sources as solar energy, but if they go up in flames the blazes can be extremely difficult to put out.
There’s no way to sugar coat it. This is a disaster, is what it is,” Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church told KSBW-TV. But he said he did not expect the fire to spread beyond the concrete building it was enclosed in.

Any endangered fish will now probably die now anyway due to the ash and changing PH of the water.

The way the winds were blowing, its very possible.
Some of the same residents lost homes in this fire that lost homes in the 2018 Malibu fire. You'd think lessons might be learned by now.
