In California, the government motto seems to be: "Let it burn."
The solution for "out of control" wildfires has existed for years.
Water...huge amounts of water...dropped bomber style from a massive plane that can load from natural sources and "bomb" massive areas all day and night.
Strange, isn't it?
We have the resources to drop billions of dollars worth of munitions on the Middle East, but we can't scoop up free water to keep our homes from burning.
