The foam that they drop from the tankers isn't as destructive as you make it seem. Living in Southern California my house was been hit by one and while you get coated in a red foam its not going to kill you.

How much foam loaded up on planes and ready to go do you think they have near Paris? It's not wildfire season anywhere around there right now.

Fire retardant doesn't put out a fire. It just prevents a fire from spreading. And even that only to some degree.
