What would it take to put out a large fire like Bedrock in Oregon right now (brainstorm, anything goes)

Post Body

Okay y’all, not a firefighting type person, just a landowner at the wildland interface about 6 miles from the front of this fire. It was the Holiday Farm fire 2 years ago.

Here’s my question, ecology aside (landscapes evolved to burn etc). What would it take to put a 20k acre fire out (perhaps before it gets that big) Like there’s some amount of resources that could do it right? If there were 30 x 747’s dumping water on a fire round the clock for example, would that do it? 300 helicopters? Not asking about the political will or funding just like if you could have ANY amount of resources?

What would it take?
