California wildfires

Crazy that a country can be so powerful around the globe and yet can't put out a fire in it's own back yard.

So much failure. Things must change.

 
It's not one fire. It's many large, out of control raging fires in many different areas that were fuelled by dry vegetation and strong winds and thick smoke preventing fire fighters from getting in the air to fight these fires.

As one firefighter says about the low water pressure "If you stick a lot of straws in a glass of water it will empty faster."
