For some reason all morning no air tankers

News copters showing live feeds mentioned on air they didn’t understand why

Last report about 1/2 hour ago said some finally inbound

Daylight is very short this time of year so I don’t understand the delay

Could be incompetence but also reminds me of what happened in Hawaii.

The mayor and Fire Chief (who earns $650,000 per year) slapped themselves on the back and said, “We will rebuild!”

Federal billions pouring in. Those who may have opposed them giving up and moving out of the state.

Lots of “winners” here. Or as one Dem said, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

Feel sorry for the people there, the government is completely inept and makes matters worse.

I believe the winds are preventing it. 60 mph+ gusts = no flying of helicopters.

They were able to fly last night and slowed down the Sunset fire from reaching residential areas.

High winds - which can carry the embers up to 2 miles - are a killer.

the PP fire has “0% containment.”
