Canadian Armed Forces helping with the LA fires

Chemical warfare. These bombers are carrying a chemical called "Dihydrogen Monoxide" or DHMO. What effect does adding a chemical containing Hydrogen and Oxygen to fires have?

Why isn't Trump talking about this Canadian chemical attack?

Really sorry 😔

I'm afraid he might count our help for LA against us. 🥲

Never skip an opportunity to be the biggest shitbag on the news.

Over, sorry, eh?

They also have landing gear that slides down from under the wing.

I do, too, and sadly I've yet to fly on one! I wonder how much TaleSpin has to do with this.

Can you annex me?

There are not enough helicopters and airplanes in the world to drop enough salt water to prevent plants from growing in those mountains.

A lot of what is burning is mostly just weed/brush over hard soil that doesn't get much water anyways, I don't think it would permeate deep enough in the soil to really "salt it".

You would need a lot more salt than that to significantly damage the ecosystem. For example, many roads are salted all winter, it does impact local ecosystems, especially waterways, but it doesn't comepletely kill them in most places. Plus a lot of the ash from the fires can be quite nutritious for plants which can help with recovery.

Probably the salt is not consentrated enough. I'm guessing though.

I live in an area which has seen quite a few wildfires, and everytime they are put out with these planes using sea water. Never stopped anything from growing back, and it does grow back very fast !
