And if you irretrievably damage the aquifers with salt water ? This seems to be a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I'm not sure that there's a good answer here.

I agree that it would be wrong to pump salt water into the aquifers. Perhaps they could be isolated with valving at the pump stations?

I was thinking more about the vegetation issue. The faster they get the fires out the less ground would be contaminated and the less the amount of salt that would be applied.

But over all, as I said, a last ditch effort.

Kind of like the 415's scooping sea water out of the Pacific.
