most impressive thing i’ve learned about as a result of the fires: CL-415 Super Scooper and its pilots. its ~30m wings are able to scoop 1,400 gallons in 12 seconds and drop it as low as 100ft over fires. the pilots are highly skilled, having to battle insane terrain, smoke, debris, and the Santa Ana winds.

Wow, impressive airplane! I sure hope the fires are contained soon. So sorry you have to go through that. You're in Venice, right? That's pretty close to it. It's where I used to live long ago (back in 2004-2005). I used to like to go hiking in the Topanga Canyon area.
