Original Note:
Aircraft are support assets for firefighters on the ground. According to the U.S. Forest Service, “aircraft alone cannot put (wildfires) out” https://www.fs.usda.gov/managing-land/fire/aviation Air assets were grounded briefly, but operated at night & the next day. If reservoirs are ready, it’s unclear why they aren’t used https://x.com/heatherthomasaf/status/1877253377870200860?s=46&t=lsnBMEGHTflIR9Dgu6ceUQ
