Re: How to put out a vehicle fire the easy way
In northern Canada thousands and thousands of miles of road are dirt, in most cases it does not make economic or from a engineering perspective good sense to make them an all weather paved road.
To much frost in the ground including the perma frost the roads just buckle up and down all year, or the vehicles just sink into muskeg areas if the road was not corded (see building the Alaska HWY)
As for use of the water bomber, there can be hundreds of miles between fire department and use of the plane is the fastest response, I think there is a note under the video that stated the nearest fire departments assets where tied up on another call.
