I did not say wet or fresh. And would in various states is able to "self combust" given the right circumstances.
Smoldering and burning for a week yes, some fires have actually lasted longer believe it or not.
I never said ground based was not also involved
Air force was definitely not involved, not sure where you got that one.
They dropped mud and water both, from dedicated forestry service and private water bomber fixed wing and helicopters. Not sure if you are aware, but they can actually hit what they aim at, so no they did not bomb the entire town with anything.
Any other questions? I probably have some pictures of the A-26's and electra's they used somewhere, we helped support them during the fight.
