One of these fires spread at an average of something like an acre a minute once it was burning.
The Thomas Fire began Monday and moved exceptionally fast. It grew about 31,000 acres in about nine hours -- that's nearly an acre per second.

I'm stating that the aircraft that have been talked about that can refuel without going to an airport can take water from anywhere that's deep enough. They can take it from lakes, or even rivers that are deep enough.

Anybody ever heard of fire-breaks?
There are too many trees too close together.
Nature is correcting the problem.
New life will arise.
