Why can't they just fit bombs with a fire extinguisher agent and start dropping on the fire?

>fire extinguisher agent
Like water or sand? Area is far too big to cover, will make zero difference.

Then be that person. Invent that "bomb" and convince they fire departments to use it. Nothing was ever done because everyone in the room just shrugged and said "someone should do it"

Fun fact if you look into it it turns out that many forest fires are started by logging companies because it gives them the justification to go in and clear fell timber.
kind of depressing but true

Because the fire would start evolving and become resistant to extinguisher agents.
Now you have fire that can't be put out. Then the only solution left is to vaccinate every tree against fire.

We have evolved past the era of people doing things independently. It's not the 1960s anymore. Nowadays if you want something to get done you need to wait for a corporation to decide if it should be done or not.

What is the most expandible chemical?

What are those youtube videos where they put something inside a box, open the box and it expands x10?

Or generate fast clouds and make it rain. Or even move clouds fast from an area that is raining to the fire.

Normal high explosive bombs would actually do just fine. The blast wave denies oxygen to the fires.

The Swedish Air Force once used HE bombs to put out a wilf fire. As the fire was on a bomb range. The UXO hazard made conventional fire fighting too risky.

I don't know about the West, but it for sure happens in Russia
Entire areas in Siberia get declared as a forest fire, and then lumber companies move in to sell far more than they'd be normally allowed to chop according to eco regulations

My dad's cousin worked for the forest service in the 70s. Out of work firefighters would prop up the lens like bottom of a coke bottle with some moss and dry pine needles under it, aimed towards the sun.

Agreed, but somebody still needs to be the person who works for that corporation who will invent the ideas and implement the initiative to get it done. My point was that we can't just point fingers and say "hey do this" when there isn't anybody who can or is willing to do it in the current infrastructure.

It would be possible but the amount you would need is probably the biggest problem. There are antioxidant powders that are used by firefighters however they are pretty toxic as you can immagine as they will stop oxigen from binding anywhere including your lungs and anywhere esle. So there are only so many ways to kill a fire and if you don't have tons of water lying around your best bet is to just let it burn down.
