Check out this plane they are sending into San Diego:
Huge firefighting plane on its way
Posted @ 7:24 AM
A Martin Mars waterbomber is expected to arrive in San Diego County this afternoon to help fight the area's wildfires. The plane, which is based in Canada, is capable of dropping 7,200 gallons of water in a single drop, enough to drench three acres.
The plane also can drop a gel that can coat structures in the path of fires, said San Diego Fire Chief Tracy Jarman.
The plane is amphibious and can land on water .

One of my best friends and roommates is from SanDiego. The fires are 3.8 miles from his family's house.
They had to evacuate 2 days ago. Both of his grandparents are wheelchair bound. Very similar situation to our grandparents. So it's pretty hard on them to stay mobile.
His house is where I went for Thanksgiving last year.
I just YouTube'd the Martin Mars...that is A LOT of water.
