Exactly. There's only so much they can do. They couldn't fly aircraft. Spread to a huge area rapidly, the area isn't even that easy to get in/out of on a good day. Add in another couple fires that also rapidly spread and it really doesn't matter how much money they had, you can't just bring on firefighters that fast.
I'm glad to see all the aircraft are working the fires and hopefully they'll make some good progress before night.
These fires have spread quickly and it is true that fire fighters are spread thin.
