The media is doing a VERY poor job of communicating that there is simply nothing that can stop fire, miles of dry brush, and winds topping 75 mph. No amount of firefighting or water. Aerial efforts are grounded.

You’re fighting the fire for one reason: to give those in its way enough time to survive.

The warnings issued before the fires said exactly this; If a fire starts, the odds of containment were almost 0% until the winds subsided.
