In response to this postAt the moment it looks like one LA County night flying copter has been dropping water on hotspots above Camp Josepho. They are filling up at the reservoir on the north and shuttling down canyon to a hotspot. #PalisadesFire 1/11/25 0632
Here is the ridge N822LA is working. It's several canyons to the direct west of the Getty Center. #PalisadesFire 1/11/25 0633

In response to this post@ai6yr is it time that armed forces face dual threats. One is of course hostile enemies but the other, just as hostile is internal due to weather. Navy who can launch flood rescue quickly. Armythat canengineer solutions to supply and reduce impact and provide manpower. Navy trained in firefighting with Chinooksand Hercules/A400M fitted with equipment to help in fires and floods.
@John_Loader California National Guard has MAFFS (firefighting capability) on C-130's. Also they have been called into duty to rescue people trapped by a wildfire... quite a dramatic rescue a couple of years ago in the Sierras--ran through fire and smoke to pick up hundreds of campers trapped by a fire.
