  10.  @icebiker3  The fire that burned Lahaina was started at 6 a.m. by a downed powerline pole on side of a street, and it was swiftly put out by the Fire Department. A small fire was reported at the same location around 9 a.m.; it was a reignited fire from the first, and the fire crew had not completely extinguished it. According to the FD's excuse, this time there was no water in the fire hydrant. Then the 9 a.m. fire was allowed by FD to smother for at least 5 hours before spreading to the town center at roughly 3:30 p.m. The 9 a.m. fire is being blamed on a shortage of water, according to the Fire Department. That 9 a.m. fire could have been entirely extinguished if the fire crew had gotten water from the nearby coastline!!! Would take only less than 1 minute drive from any location in town to the seashore or dock, which is full of water for fighting fire. == There is solid evidence, videos, and eyewitnesses of the 9am small fire that kept smothering for many hours, gradually increasing in size as it spread toward the town center over at least a 5-hour period, that fire started very small, it was at the same location as the 6am fire, it was a flare up from the previous one at 6am. At least one individual videotaped the entire fire, from start to finish, burning down the entire village!! The video was filmed from his boat on the water, far away from the beach, so everything was clear; the fire was smothering for several hours before blew up and spreading towards the town center, a process that took at least 5 hours!!! FD had many hours of time and unlimited amount of water from the sea to put out what was a small fire!!

  47.  @UForgotUrMarriedUijitLOL  Fire and salt kill plants, but which do you choose? Do you rather see homes and people get burned by the fire than to use seawater to put out the fire? Seawater is actually more effective in putting out fire because of its salt content. Salt water causes only temporary harm to the soil that needs to grow plants, the salt in the soil eventually gets washed away by rain or freshwater spray, the salt is not there permanently. Plants can grow back. Fire burns vegetation and trees anyway, so it is a lame excuse not to use seawater to put out the Lahaina which homes and cars burned to ash, and hundreds of not thousands of people died! Simply due to the FD had refused to use seawater to put out the fire, because it didn't want to hurt the gardens and trees! In many countries in the world including the USA, many cities and towns located by the coast use seawater to fight fire when urgently needed if there is no other better option. Sometimes wildfire fire fighters use seawater to put out forest fires when there's no freshwater available, instead of letting the fire spread which can cause greater loss. The fire that burned Lahaina wasn't a wildfire, it started on a street at the edge of town, not in the wild like the media and government claim. The fire was supposedly caused by a downed power line inside the town area at around 9am, the fire could have been an arson and then allowed to burn for hours before it finally spread to the town center at around 5 pm, about 8 hours later. FD's excuse for not putting out that 9 am fire because there wasn't any water, so the FD did nothing to stop the fire from growing bigger and bigger. All fire departments in the world know how to draft water from pool, lake and sea to use for fighting fire, it's a basic fire fighting knowledge and standard procedure. There is no excuse for not using seawater to put out the small 9am fire but simply let it burn for many hours before it grew so big it burned down the town! Coast Guard fighting boats use only seawater to fight fires, for both watercraft fire and land fire.
