When BBC reporters had interview with the residents, they said that they were surprised to see only 2 or 3 fire-fighting planes were in the sky for they expect there should be 20 or 30 in such a great fire. They should fly up team by team, incessantly one by one in non-stopping array as military show. During an exhibition, air show or military parade, a lot of planes are on the sky, but when in most need, only 2 or 3 can been seen. Even if fire department is in shortage, why they do not ask help from the military force? Or they can ask help from Canada for they also have abundant experience in fighting wild fires.
Even if California is in shortage, it can be deployed from other neighborhood states easily. But what news said was that there was an unmanned flying plane in the sky and made obstacle to fire-fighting planes. Those that should fly up could not see, those should not fly up can be seen. Is this the third world or G7 countries? California had been long in WOKE culture which is the prerequisite and all others things are put aside. So where are those fire-fighting plane? No fuel? No water? No chemical? No explanations.
During the era of Donald Trump 1.0, he already said that there is great shortage of water in California and should build large reservoirs for usage of firefighting and daily drinking water. But the plan had not yet started even today is Trump 2.0 era. For all priority were given to DEI. Everything should pick up people from the black, Muslim, transsexual to do it no matter they are qualified or not. Therefore people that do not have enough experience in firefighting are assigned to run the Fire Department as all other departments are in same position. The qualified and the original white became second class citizens and workers. Third class official hold all positions and that is why California is among the third world even they possess the Silicon Valley.
