I'm watching CNN and they are showing a pretty big fire that has popped up next to a freeway down there in New Orleans. They are talking about how a number of fires have popped up all over town and the difficulty that the firefighters are having in putting out the fires because they can't get to them because of the flooding and debris. Why haven't they brought in some of those big helicopters that they use for forest fires? The ones with the big buckets that they use to scoop water out of lakes and oceans and then dump them on top of the burning forest.
