I have often thought that some refitted C-130's with a scoop and drop

Also, so many homes have swimming pools. Duh!!!!!!! 2 inch pump with a volkswagen engine running on city gas or propane. Save your house anyway.
Oh well.....we have insurance. Is that really the attitude? Or are the Santa Anna winds just a once in 20 years thing?
There is this thing called plastic pipe. Pump some of the pacific ocean up for fire supression. This isn't as hard as going to the moon ,folks.
It just looks like they want to play cheap. Once you get burned bad enough,
you start to re-examin a situation.
