Another unprecented destructive fire, another day of pitiful climate action as the world goes past 1.5°C rise in temperature for the first time.
It's time for some groups to form to sabotage coal mines imo

There is no mention of an inability to see consequenses of actions as part of the DSM criteria for pyromania. Maybe there are others that are obsessed with stealing cars, robbing, taking things etc.
Get em' all into treatment?

Not so dumb as many people have asked the same question over the last week.
Although one person asked the same question last week on twitter and copped an avalanche of abuse just for asking.

I don't think the LA or California fire departments own any saltwater capable fire fighting aircraft but Canada sent a couple of Super Scoopers down to help out. They can refill in the nearby ocean with a 10 minute turnaround whereas other planes need to go to an airport.
How California fights fires from the skies
Cal Fire has its own fleet of aircraft operating from 14 airfields and 11 helicopter bases across the state that can reach most fires within about 20 minutes.

Adding nothing to the discussion here, however few weeks ago playing golf at Sun City, fires were going north of Yanchep. Helicopters coming in drawing water from the golf course lake between the 10th and 18th holes. Just had to move to the bush and off the fairway for the minute or so it took them to come in and get going.
Not Important
never test the depth of water with both feet.

Catastrophic winds blowing 160 km/h in a dry winter and people want to talk about other things?
If you want to know what this was like, next time you've got a fire going, blow your portable air mattress inflator across it. And while you've got that going, try to spit the fire out.
They dry fuel and strong winds were just about unstoppable. Fire breaks, even natural ones like roads, were hopeless with that kind of sustained wind.
