May God protect all of you. Why haven't they been able to make any progress on the fire?

Why haven't they been able to make any progress on the fire?

Because most of their resources were sent up to help with the LA fires....oops.

They haven't been able to make alot of progress for 2 reasons, IMO. The winds are really blowing, sending flaming bits and materials a long way and starting new fires. Everything is normally very dry at this time of year, and it has been a drier year than normal.
On top of that, Recalled Gov. Gray Dooooffuuusss stood down all of the Calif Dept Forestry (CDF) AIR ATTACK planes on Oct 15 for "winter maintenance". Since the months that are the wettest like Jan-Feb-March don't need the planes nearly as much, it seems to me that would be the time to stand them down.
Earlier this year, due to the "lack of money" from the out of control spending in Sacramento, Dooofffuusss closed all the state forest towers that are used for observation on possible smoke/fires. Some of the locations here in northern Calif are being manned by volunteers who are former employees of same or retirees. God Bless them.
Again, DOOFFUUSS has put all of his thoughts towards himself, and left Calif literally burning up. I know he didn't cause the winds, and I am (fairly) sure he isn't an arsonist, but standing down air attack planes in the worst time of year is sheer folly. If I had serious money, I would explore going after him on criminal charges for malfeasance. Just my opinion....
