Salt destroys equipment. This is the main reason sea water isn't being used.

LOL so you really think that in matter of minutes the salt is destroying the equipment... cmon man, don't throw me that bullshit, salt water is not acid.
So you will prefer to watch your house burning down but not hosing salt water on it because will destroy your hose LOL

No, I'm explaining why the fire fighters don't use salt water. They COULD use it but they don't. Salt water is not acid for sure but their equipment has to last for many years because of how poorly the state manages fire fighting efforts. You would be surprised by the corrosive power of salt.
The state is terrible at doing what people think they are good at. I'm not saying they could not figure out a way to make it work. They could. They won't. If it were privately controlled we'd see real consequences and innovation.
I think that in a free society we would not have a problem with water in California. Desalination would be done and would be a profitable business. Fire fighting would be better. It would likely all be better.
