Can firefighters use ocean water to douse wildfires?

By Michael Bartiromo, Cameron Kiszla | Fox 21 News Footage of a firefighting plane picking up water from the Pacific Ocean to beat back the wildfires currently burning in Los Angeles has only added fuel to a debate taking place among onlookers on social media: Should we be using seawater to douse the flames? “I’m really confused.
