Every fire I have seen fought up here, they’ve used Broncos for surveillance. But whatever it takes, do it.
Data has never put out a fire and unfortunately virtually all research money goes into fire modeling. Of course it’s nice to know where a fire might be headed but it would be so much better to be able to put a fire out. There are modern technologies that could be used to actually extinguish fires but with the advent of eco-fires group-think, the powers that be are more interested in software than on the ground solutions. It’s been that way since Yellowstone and it needs to change.
