It's climate change, and we are not ready.

The poly tubes would melt...

I found a sprinkler that shoots out up to 100 feet. Of course 100 feet is optimum water pressure and probably a flat athletic field. It requires a 2 inch supply line. Who has that besides some farmers and some large businesses etc? Generally household PVC irrigation systems area 1/2 inch PVC. A golf course might be 3/4 inch PVC.

Would melt that in a few minutes.

I lived close to the fires on Victoria's Black Saturday in 2009. I thought our north winds were bad - sweeping down from the hot, red centre of Australia but after seeing this we were lucky, if you could say that on a day when 170 or so people died.

Nothing can fight fires like this.

at least a better step in the direction of dousing wind driven embers that spread fires far and wide.

If only they would let their own reporting drive their coverage. They know blaming Dems for this is BS, but I'm afraid you're correct that they'll keep doing it.

GD f-ing smug little lying POS. CNN loses all credibility as a news network by platforming that guy.

Glad to hear it’s a headline. There isn’t any engineering design manual that I’m aware of that would’ve allowed water to still be available 24 hours later.

Water system design allows for fire flow but not at the volume and duration they needed.
