> the fire services has shown itself not capable of containing the blazes

You realize how large these fires are, right? It is an incredible achievement that they are contained even a little bit. These fires can be so large and burn so hot that they create their own weather patterns over hundreds, even thousands of square miles.

Saying "fire service has show itself not capable of containing" fires is nearly as ignorant as blaming beach life guards for being "incapable of containing a hurricane storm surge"
