Bill Swisher, CEO of SwisherCo made a comment on a CBS/KCAL FaceBook news item about the Fillmore Wildfire; and I was intrigued enough to check it out.

I have no clue if it would work, but it is interesting.



That it is! Those USAF cargo planes are gigantic and could carry a whole lakeful of water.

Imagine a fleet of 10 of those things "carpet-bombing" a fire...
