Sea Water for the LA fires? Some sensible thoughts

Click above for the video

A few days ago, LA resident James Woods mentioned that the authorities had stopped the LA Fire Department using sea water to douse fires, because it could "harm the vegetation". This seemed rather silly to me. Like... burning is far worse, no?

The above is an in-depth take on the issue. Long story short: sea water is fine. And it could have been -- should have been --- used in the current fires. 

This is also by way of being an educational video. I learnt a lot! Can the authorities?
