I would love to take it down there! From what I have seen on TV News Stations there seems to be lots of BIG water tankers on the fires. Saw 2 guys with 1 1/2" hoses dumping water on some embers and when the camera backed up there were 4 very large water trucks with large hoses all over the place pumping water. Part I could not figure was there wasn't any open flames anywhere and it would seem that those trucks should be used on the run away wild fire, not what has burned allready? Around here they can't waste water that way they tend to conserve it and work the flank of the fire with it and make a line and back burn into the fire. The news seems to only show regular fire depts working on the fires with structial trucks not Wildland Fire Fighters? Strange but it might just be the coverage on them not showing it? Mark H.
