Another aspect of this was the unusually strong wind event That occurred, and so asking people to go fly helicopters or I guess maybe planes and try to pick up water from the ocean in those conditions, you're putting people at great risk directly. And that also made fighting the fire

actually for aspects that don't involve water, like aerial fighter fighting, dropping wildfire foams on the fire, which are incredibly important in hilly areas like this, nearly impossible in the early hours of the fire. But yes, in some other ways, again, just our systems, our water systems and our power systems were not built to fight wildfires encroaching right in our urban areas.

So in order to think about really being robust to fight them or really think about not rebuilding in certain areas, but to do that build back, build back so resilient that we could actually fight a fire of this nature. We're just talking about, no one knows the exact number, but five to 10 times more expense. So it probably can be done, but it'll just be incredibly expensive.

It's really just a lot more and sort of, we would say, positive redundancy in three aspects. One is the actual water supply, the raw water. I mean, there's a lot of misinformation about how water from Northern California to Southern California would have made a difference. It wouldn't.

But just having more water in that specific area that happened to have the extraordinarily bad luck of having a reservoir offline is a big factor. As well as the infrastructure, and you heard a lot about fire hydrants. There's not super clear evidence around the fire hydrants performing poorly, but certainly having top of the line and more fire hydrants, as well as tanks, holding tanks.

This isn't very exciting stuff. You need all of that. But the biggest thing is...

probably improvements some of which aren't technologically feasible at this moment around how to move water around and that's really about power and how quickly you can move water around a network and there are some core sort of physical limitations we still face with moving water quickly up hills that we have to i guess burst through as it were if we really want to make systems like this work in hilly areas
