    I think someone is pulling your leg. California has lots of water already just offshore.

    Try this one. In Spain, helicopters scoop water out of private swimming pools to put out fires. I do not know who pays to fill them up again.

    Look at it this way, salt water readily available off the coast of California will put out fires just as quickly as freshwater from New Orleans?

    NO, wait, that was salt water too.

    So why would even OUR government waste fuel to move it across the country?
