It looks like a painting in the background and a photo in the foreground.

I think you’re a delusional paranoid.

Who, out there, would fake something like this?

(Looks faked to me.)

The lighting angles and shadows look correct, but the quality makes it hard to know for sure. If real, it’s a cool photo.

If it's fake, search brings up thousands of them, so somebody must be doing a LOT of digital modifications:

Probably real. There isn’t much reason to fake such a photo. It’s not like it’s a joke, or there is some political point to be made.

The “Rainmaker” DC-10 is in action in the San Marcos fire.

I think that’s Walter White’s house.

Hope the owners of those houses had bug-out bags...because that sort of fire isn’t something you tend to survive by sheltering in place.

The DC-10 has been used as a tanker for several in fighting fires. Likely not shopped.

Scroll down under "2014 Fires"

This looks like the source photo of the 10 Tanker, reversed and higher resolution.

Here's a resized comparison:
