Someone out there just really wants California to burn. To be fair, Cal fire and emergency agencies are well-equipped with two-way radios and repeaters. Ham radio operators don't actually do any direct activities with fire management, they might - a rare might - be in the right place at the right time to report a new fire, a structure or people under threat, but typically they don't. They do enhance the public's awareness of a fire's presence but I don't have knowledge of what else hams actually do for a fire.
