#1 Oh I wish they would get some of those fire-fighting airships off the ground. They make so much sense, carrying a huge payload of water high above the fire and then raining it for an hour or two, rather than dumping a much smaller amount. And while such an airship might not completely put out a fire, it could supress it so much that it wouldn't be a problem. It could keep it away from houses, and even sodden an area as a barrier to the progress of the thing. A few million dollars into one of those craft could save billions each year.
