Salt on highways during winter in Canada never seems to affect the vegetation growing on sides on roads in spring. Ocean water being dumped on fires would have less Salt concentration, than road salt.

The issue was at the most critical times the winds were too dangerous to fly water. In the right conditions they can drop and get the fires out pretty quickly

Oh, this reminds me of when invading armies would salt the earth so that the locals couldn't grow any vegetation. Turning California into a sandy vegetationless desert would get rid of the fires because sand won't burn. Genius.

Salt water will definitely affect plant regrowth which will contribute to mudslides during heavy rains but mudslides are going to be a problem anyway. Double edge sword but if it puts the fire out that is todays problem.

Can Seawater Fight Fires in Southern California?
1. Why SoCal Ran Out of Water?
2. Fireboats - How to get Seawater out of the Sea
3. Does seawater corrodes fire equipment?
4. Does Seawater not provide enough cooling as freshwater?
5. Does seawater harm plant life and will leave the soil barren?
Finally, why is so difficult fighting this fire?
