But I am an expert in a few things, and one of them is fire safety.
Use bulldozers and shovels and make fire lines! Make sure that the line is big enough so the fire can’t jump over!
This is the first time you refereed to using bulldozer to to make a fire line before that you wanted them to do it with shovels. The width of the fire line is dependent on how high the forest fire is. I don’t understand all you need is a few bulldozers not a bunch of soldiers with shovels.
“Rather have the air force drop rubber bladder full of water on the fires They can also reconfigure the Hercules air plane so that they can suck up water while flying just a few feet above the Mediterranean and then dump it on the fire.”
They are already doing that and got other countries to pitch in.
It’s not enough!
During the Cold War when Russia blockaded Berlin the US had planes landing one after the other. With ground control and maximum usage they could have air craft constantly dropping water both in front of the fire and on the fire.They can have these planes refuel and reloaded with water midair which I doubt they are doing, which in turn reduces the amount of water dropped on the fire and is why the fire is not out.
They can also have the air force dump sand on the fires using transport air craft.”
Sounds like a novel idea, but I doubt it would work!
The concept is to deny the fire oxygen. This can also be accomplished by using explosives. Another solution maybe to create a wind by using giant fans so that the fire is blown back in the forest which was already burnt and the fire goes out because of the lack of fuel.
The Israelis didn’t learn from the Mount Carmel fire in 2010 and prepare for this. Now I think the Arabs are using arson to drive the Jews out.
