Ok California. Now what?

Yep, California wasn't doing anything to fight these fires.

Who said they aren't?

Each home would require 3-4 engines for 10,000 structures. The reservoir would have minimal impact in hurricane force winds.
Gee, did they all go up at once? Were the millions of acres you cited earlier all on fire? How about if they had enough water they could've stopped the spread and saved many thousands of houses?

The same embers didn't blow from house to house. Embers landed on houses and as they burned the embers from those houses spread to nearby houses. And so on. Which could've been greatly slowed and contained if they had enough water.

Pretty much all at once. That's what hurricane force winds does to a wildfire.

The embers were from everywhere and everything. Geezus bro, you are dense!

Says the guy who can't grasp that if you let the forests build up fuel over years you end up with much bigger, more intense fires. Or that not having enough water makes it impossible to contain fires. And don't point at me, the Dem leadership in L.A. are all pointing at each other.

What PROACTIVE efforts were made to mitigate the fires?

All you are citing are REACTIVE efforts for a fire that was predicted by many!

No, they didn't go up all at once. Took time for the fires to spread. And they would've had a better chance to contain the fires if they had the water.
Hours bro. It literally took hours. I don't know why it's so hard to understand what the wind did with these fires.

Again you are just parroting a false narrative. Is there things that can have been done better? Of course. But that is the case in every natural disaster. There's not enough labor or time to clear all of the forests in CA. Fire is a part of California's environment and that's not ever going to change, regardless who is in charge.

This is a perfect example of California's environmental insanity. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I believe that sometimes environmentalists are driven insane by their own laws, which simply causes them to create even more insane laws.

The zeal of many of these enviro-lunatics rivals that of religious extremists.

"To be hoist upon one's own petard" comes to mind.

This is exactly the reason why I suspect that some environmentalists want these wildfires to happen.

Wildfires need to be allowed to happen in order to have a healthy, natural environment.

The lives and property of those who allow these agencies to be created, and who also vote their sycophants into office be damned.

The only way to fight this type of fire is in the air.

Maybe out of all the silly mandates California has they should mandate everyone has a pool?

Or just have some elderly people with some tenacity stick around and make sure their house doesn’t catch on fire.
