I remember seeing a B-17 at Burbank used for firefighting. Probably 50 years ago.I used to live in Eastern Washington north of Spokane. I was about three miles from a municipal airport that during fire season had firefighting aircraft based there. Years ago one of the planes (since retired from service) was a WWII vintage PBY. From my house I could hear it when they fired up those big radial engines to go fight a fire. I’d always jog out to the road so I could get a clear view of it taking off. One time I went over and visited with the crew and got a tour of the plane. It was amazing how much engine oil would leak out of those lower cylinders while she sat on the tarmac.
Homeless guy in Azusa. The rest of that story is fake news.

Also mentioned, another arson attempt in Irwindale, and a bunch of looters.
yeah... sounds like the person was known to the respondersAzusa/Irwindale has a lot of wildlands, and it's not hard to find homeless encampments there. "Arson" could be somebody building a fire, too... it's sometimes tough to make a distinction in these cases.
I should not find it funny, but the irony…
It’s pretty common in CA for landslides to follow wildfires. The fires destroy the plants holding the slopes together, increasing landslide risk. Usually they’re after the first rains, but maybe air dropped firefighting water triggered this one?
Just saw the video clip where a guy is at a podiun and he says,"when we started these fires"
but I bet he got a lot of clicks on his channel doing thatCrap. Taken totally out of context!
