data-v-438398f6=\"\">Despite nearly 900 miles of coastline along the Pacific Ocean, firefighters have largely avoided using seawater for good reason, as the salt content can corrode equipment like pumps and other metal tools used in the firefight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Additionally, saltwater is widely considered to be a less effective cooling agent compared to freshwater, further hindering efforts if the water was used to try to control the flames.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Some planes and airdrops are specially designed to use seawater without significant repercussions on the equipment, but the combination of gusty winds and difficult terrain complicated efforts in fighting the series of blazes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featured featured-image featured-image-gallery\">\n<div
