Don't BS. That was all because the high WIND. Every year around these couple month, California is High Wind season. This year is much Higher. With that kind of High Wind Blowing, you just couldn't expect how much damages that will cost.
Whatever these guys talking, they don't have any knowledge of anything. SEA WATER can't use to cut off the fire. The high SALT content in seawater, however, can cause damage to equipment. vegetation, and SOIL. It is generally avoided for fires that need to be contained without further environmental impact. Please make sure you understand all situation before you put up your COMMENT.
