As wildfires raged in Southern California, officials allocated firefighting resources by assessing immediate threats, the proximity to each blaze, and the appropriateness of equipment for each fire.
Cal Fire Capt. John Clingingsmith Jr. stated, "I've never heard of a fire that has gone without; it might just take time to arrive" during a critical resource allocation.
Kenichi Haskett, a section chief, underscored the challenges of firefighting, noting, "In a perfect world, you can have a million firefighters, but sometimes Mother Nature is too powerful."
