[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1609008, member: 42"] In most cases I'd agree, but since the state already has the authority under the law, and we are dealing with a rapidly evolving fast moving wildfire, having the pilot grab water where he sees it is much faster than: Pilot locates pond, calls in the location, waits for [I]someone[/I] to be dispatched, waits for that someone to find the pond he's talking about, waits for someone to locate landowner, waits for permission to be relayed back, then gets water if he hasn't run out of fuel and/or the fire hasn't moved even farther and destroyed more lives/property. Still goes back to the all too common example of people beating their chests and saying "I know my rights" when quite often they don't have a clue what "their rights" are in the given situation.
