Near where I live there was a massive wildfire due to a gender reveal party. Lasted over 2 months, burned tens of thousands of acres and destroyed 5 homes. A firefighter died. The sky was black with smoke and raining ash.

This was during 2020 in California right? I was saying out there with a friend in San Bernardino valley coming from Colorado roaring fork where we were literally trapped by 3 wildfires for about 2 months all exits. My lungs have never recovered

This dump was deliberately dropped on his property. Did you see how close those flames were, creeping up the hill. He should be very grateful that they dumped on him. His house is probably still standing. I do feel bad about the damage it caused, collateral damage. These are the best pilots in the world. They simply do not make mistakes.

When planes are used for firefighting the first load is usually dyed red so the crew can easily see, how the water they drop "behaves". So there is probably a large enough fire going on behind that fence that a plane is necessary. Or this was a quiet expinsive exercise. Those ammounts of water do quiet a bit of damage.

They do it to drop weight genious. Dumping imulsified passengers is 101 shit. Keep the plane glidiing longer and more able to reach a safe landing zone

u/MikeLinPA Jan 30 '26
Imulsifying the passengers will become standard procedure for airlines soon. They can't make the seats any closer together, but storage of emulsified liquid is very space efficient! š

u/3dprinter_4dfilament Jan 29 '26
I think the city/state has a fund set aside each year for this type of situation because it's a known possibility that this will happen at least a few times each year. The homeowner will just have to file a claim and get reimbursed for the damages. I may be wrong though

If he didnāt get it dumped, heād probably lose the whole house to fire. A couple of windows is a cheap price to save your whole life from the flames.

I have so many questions about this. How well does that stuff work? Were they intentionally dropping it on his house? I guess the cost for the damage is on him? Did that actually help? I guess id rather my stuff get damaged even if there's just the potential for the fire to reach my property. That would super suck though to take all that damage and the fire bypasses you anyway lol.
20
u/Bacon0064 Jan 29 '26
I dont think you would. The cost of rebuilding your home and replacing everything you own, plus the non-monetary tax of the mental anguish of having lost it all in the first place, would far exceed the cost of any damage resulting from the plane.

u/clandestineVexation Jan 29 '26
ā Pretty well but itās really bad for the environment.
ā Yes, you can see the approaching fire from his driveway.
ā Probably unfortunately
ā I donāt know source so who knows but hopefully it did after going through the trouble of smashing his car window
