Down here in San Diego. We have been lucky here. Praying for our family and friends up the road in LA. Tragic doesn't even begin to describe this. With regards to the salt water, we use salt water routinely in the Navy to fight fires on the ships. I agree, we should be able to use the ocean.
When 6 major wildfires happen at the same time and are driven by the Santana winds, you have what is known as a "Blow Torch" effect, there is no stopping it. Your only hope is to mitigate how much damage it does. A city of multi-million population is extremely vulnerable to these catastrophic fires. They had water, just no pressure. When winds are hurricane velocity, aircraft cannot fly, so no airborne tankers are available. Most people viewing Kenny's "Coffee With Kenny" are gear heads so they will know what a forge is and how it works. These fires are unstoppable while the So. California Santana winds blow. The winds are known as the Diablo Winds in Northern California, there is no blame to lay at anyone, Like I said, there is no stopping it, when the winds stop you can begin to contain it until then all you can do is pray. I live in Northern California and lived through catastrophic wind driven wildfires and believe me all you can do is get the hell out of the way. I also grew up in Southern California and know about the Santana winds and believe me, there is no stopping it. I stand corrected 5 major fires, please do not politicize this.
Just a note about water if your house burns down and the supply systems burn out and every typ1 engine drawing 1200gpm multiply all numbers the mainstream weren't engineered to handle that .
California has water problems and has for years. Talking about that has been ongoing for decades. Now with this fire and running out of the allotted supply has exposed a flaw. Be assured that our governor will address it. My Dad always said I told you so!! I hated it!!
City boy in West LA here. Thanks for making this video Kenny. Its a nightmare over here. Whole place was a tinderbox ready to explode, ran by incompetent people. Praying for the victims and firefighters. My move to Arizona can't come soon enough!
Anybody who's got a problem with what you say, Kenny, should grab the remote and change the channel. And O how the fires in California are absolutely heartbreaking, I have been riveted to the coverage with prayers for family and friends and all. And California preceded the South as the hotbed of motor racing, no? All those pre-war speedsters in cars and motorcycles and then the post-war prosperity with Riverside being the OG road course for stock car racing. And I will never forget the thrill of seeing Dan Gurney at the front of the field in that big ol' Mercury. He represented the home team, California.
Born and raised in California. Why didn't they bring out the fleet of fireboats to put fires out and structure protection for those homes on or close to the water? Feel so bad for the people in those areas and our awesome first responder doing the best they can
Herm. I’m not an expert either on the lack of water in CA, but the ones who do know about that stuff, have been warning us for years that they were going to run out. Climate change. Not enough snow fall in the mountains for drain off to fill the air reservoirs. Even Las Vegas is running out. Think of evaporation rate of their fancy fountains too. And don’t forget about the loss of natural wildlife that will happen out there. No place for them to go except locations that haven’t been affected. Then, people will feel threatened by them, and start to get rid of them. It’s a vicious cycle. Horrible. Heaven please help them all. 🙏🏻
Herman I’m praying for all them people out in California. That’s a sad situation. It’s bad and I always look forward to your coffee with Kenny and my favorite cars you drove. In the cup series the square D car and the stacker 2 car and I remember that year that you pushed Earnhardt to the win at Talladega In 2000 and I always love hearing your stories about Earnhardt precious memories of the man in Black and you are a heck of a dirt racer wheelman Kenny
They actually have been using scooper air tankers and helicopters to get water out of the ocean and drop on the fire. We got very lucky that one of those tankers didn't crash after it hit a drone that some I.d.10T was flying around.
@@marcforget33I can see your point. But I would choose saving peoples homes and life over a garden. I do see the down sides to salt water. With the water shortage there for years how is there that many gardens or grass to mess up.When it comes to saving homes vs people growing a garden or have green grass I would choose save the homes.
@@GerraldFarms It's not talking about people's lawns. Your talking about eradicating the forests. Nothing will grow for about a decade if they douse it with salt water. If there's a city that needs trees to help clean the air it's LA. Not to mention the damage salt water would do to firefighting equipment.
I have lived NorCal all of my life. What has happened to this state is a tragedy! Our governor has destroyed our beloved state. We pay the highest taxes in the country and this is how they take care of the people of California. Governor should be ashamed of what he and his followers have done! They should be held accountable for what has happened. Thank you Kenny for your common sense and keep sharing your thoughts with us!
@@robertmartin9389 I agree 💯 we live just above Sonora CA luckily we have been getting rain and can burn our surrounding brush in Tuolumne County ourselves. Not sure if they can do that in SoCal.
I’m in Oakdale. Lost our insurance in Nov, Farmers pulled out of Ca. My premiums doubled. Looking to move out of state, can’t afford to live in Ca anymore! Thanks Gaven! 💩💩
I can relate to a habit such as how you hold your coffee cup. I broke my right wrist in the 7th grade, back in '84. After my arm was in a cast and sling for 6 weeks, to this day i occasionally catch myself holding my arm up like its still in the sling. Lol
Hey Herm, it's incredible what someone will say about you when they're not in the same room. But as soon as you are......silence. As for those fires. It's very difficult to understand the dynamics of all that. God bless them all.
Kenny figured it out. Just put out a few house fires and all the other fires will go away. The man pays his taxes, surely he can also figure out how to stop catastrophes better than the experts.
Sometimes you have to say to yourself Kenny, 'If it was that easy, they would be doing it.' It's not that easy...... or they'd be doing it. There is no incentive to let the city burn to the ground.
It's easy for Kenny to sit home with his coffee cup and Make a RUclips video giving his opinion. Kenny could talk to his local fire department chief and he would know more than Kenny just form a firefighters point of view
Went to top of Arch right after it was built. It is said that it was God's will that the Arch be built because not one worker lost their life when it was built. I grew up in Southern IL not far from where you live. It was very sad what happened in CA. My son graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu. I loved that area of CA when we went to see him. Michael Landon had a ranch and lived in that area. Take care Kenny!
It’s was 100 mph winds in some areas, 1000 plus structures m in clouding church’s schools and bank’s all gone, they ran out of water for the firemen, it’s over 10 billion dollars in loss , 3 and 4 story’s house’s, and it is still not 100% contained, ok burned al the way done to the ocean, BigAl California thanks,praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Kenny, I've had both shoulders, both knees,right ankle and right fore finger knuckle total replacement's done . Tituim joints ! Same age as you are ! Take care of that shoulder!
CA fires, mother natures way of weeding out the stupid.... Finland has almost identical forests as CA, but they have no fires like this because they do Forestry Management!!!
Remember that there is recorded up to 100 MPH. also they are super scooping from the ocean with the awesome air attacks. And no they don't pump from the ocean, and they should. I live in San Diego, and yes we are under the Gun here but we are blessed here. Remember, less houses more race tracks.
Don’t fall for that narrative. What does water have to do with it? They used retardant in the airplanes and the guys in the ground are cutting breaks in the woods. MAGA is lying to you with all these conspiracy theories.
How smart is Elon we can send a rocket to Mars we can make electric cars Trump got him on his staff but we can’t put out fires wake up America it’s all about building poles etc. to me who’s the 007 villain waiting and see just google his second second wife, her first wife divorce and see how he screwed her over
Kenny, can I call you Kenny? I don't care about how you hold your cup. In fact, I think it s shows how much you care about your sponsors. I'm more interested in your opinion.
It’s mind boggling to hear so cal is out of water when they spend billions to funnel water from up state, out of state and under ground. We’re screwed every which way but loose.
Hahaha if I ever see Wallace in the wild I’m going ask about how you hold the coffee mug even though I don’t care about it. I have bad shoulders and sorta hold my mug towards the same way… but I’m 20 years younger so I think by your age I’ll have my coffee in a sippy cup or something
Kinda convenient how the water to the hydrants is turned off so they couldn't stop the fire early and the areas being burned is real estate the elites wanted for the Olympics project. Kinda like Maui
i have message from a person that has more than two brain cells and i have common sense, i live in sw florida right on the coast. when we get hurricanes coming close or right over us all the friggin water that falls from the sky is SALT WATER right out of the gulf of america. the plants, trees and foliage all turn a bit brown for 3 or four days after. but everything lives, our buildings don't suffer and our vehicles don't rust out like up north where they salt the roads. 90 % of all boat engines whether they be inboard or outboard run salt water through them for engine cooling and yes they all have pumps. they are made from aluminum and or cast iron and they live long fruitful lives. so stop with the saltwater BS.
Maybe they don't want to use the salt water because they ran out of warning labels... Greater reason behind this other than the environment. You can't tell me that all the toxic fumes are better than the use of salt water on ocean front property...
Thats bad having on water why would any body wants live our there they should used the saltwater to try to puy houses out insurance has to be high as hell out there

It is the 80 mph winds Kenny. Cinders blowing everywhere. an unstoppable force like Jeff Gordon was in the 24 car.

Kenny, cold in Florida to, going to 24 hr soon. Like your Videos....
The problem was the wind was so bad 95mph that they cant do water drops..the wind blows it away...they will do water drops today as the wind is dying

Bs I live in calif and remember caldore fire that should of never happen!!!
PS... Why do you hold that coffee cup up? .... Money... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can flush the pumps out after you are done just like you do your boat motor
If they're not setup to be able to handle salt water you can't pump

Hi, just wanted to mention that the LAFD has a fleet of fire boats. I didn't see any fire boats helping.
Maybe someone will want to buy Tony Stewarts' place now. Its a beautiful spot.
Thank you very much for the video sir
the cup is always bright and happy every morning to hold my coffee☕
They actually have been using scooper air tankers and helicopters to get water out of the ocean and drop on the fire. We got very lucky that one of those tankers didn't crash after it hit a drone that some I.d.10T was flying around.
