Tanker drops red water, only to have the wind totally disperse the drop.

He dropped wayyyyy too high to be effective, but with that wind there would be severe turbulence any lower. Even for a Hercules that flies in hurricanes.

Those winds make the use of aircraft pretty much impossible. Bes they can do is try to go wayyyy ahead of the fire, cut a fire break and try to soak everything down wind down. But as @jalimon said, that scrub brush (they call it chaparral, scrubland plant communities composed of broad-leaved evergreen shrubs, bushes, and small trees usually less than 2.5 metres (about 8 feet) tall. ) is extremely flammable and even some embers flying a few hundred meters down wind and it all starts again.

Looking at the pics of all celebrity that lost their home there is always only the chimney that remains. Why don’t they build the whole home like the chimney? 🤔

Reminds me of the old Jerry Seinfeld joke. If the black box is the only thing that survives a plane crash, why don't they make the plane out of the stuff they use for the black box.

Fire breaks out in Hollywood Hills, mile from Hollywood Walk of Fame

Another fire broke out in the hills above Hollywood Boulevard Wednesday, further burdening overwhelmed firefighters who are already battling multiple fires in Los Angeles.

The latest fire, near Runyon Canyon, was threatening some of the most popular Los Angles tourist hotspots -- including the iconic Hollywood sign -- as firefighters battled to contain other blazes.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame, meanwhile, was bustling and the streets around the TCL Chinese Theatre and Madame Tussauds were packed with stop-and-go traffic as sirens blared and low-flying helicopters flew overhead to dump water on the flames, which were only about a mile away. People toting suitcases left hotels while some onlookers walked toward the flames, recording the fire on their phones.

Within a few hours firefighters had made major progress. Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Erik Scott said they were able to keep the fire in check because “we hit it hard and fast and mother nature was a little nicer to us today than she was yesterday.”
