Absolutely laughable.

Is this due to the low altitude they fly? Hurricane planes fly through hurricanes. I’m just curious why they couldn’t be used at all? I can see not picking up water off a body of water maybe also. But why is flying through 50-100 mph winds that bad for them?

There’s a huge difference in risk profile flying at relatively high altitude over the GoA vs under 1000 feet in hilly neighborhoods.

Some of these had to be set by an arsonist.

Bear in mind this is solely for state/local government expenditures and repair of public infrastructure damaged by the fires (usually 75%).
It's shitty that he didnt do it for the others and it also ties Trump's hands somewhat (he had said during the campaign that unless CA changed its water rules and forest management they wouldn't get any $$$$ for future fires)

So the film is suggesting that CA should prescribe burn 4 million acres per year to help reduce their annual wildfire burn which is less than a million? Last year it was only around 325,000 acres.
Without knowing the data, I'm not sure looking at just last years data would make any sense. The point is simply that the fires are going to happen. California has stayed out of it, and let them happen out of control. So you either control burn and manage it yourself, or something like this happens.
You burn those areas surrounding the city more often and the fires become manageable.
ETA: They control burn around me all the time. Sure there's 1-2 days a year it can be annoying. But that's life.

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not, but this live channel has been doing a good job of showing aerial views of the fire and the water drops.

LA county Fire plan
They have a guiding document. Whether or not they have implemented the recommendations in this report I have no idea.
