"Water works well when dealing with fires."
I'll be sure to pass that on to Calfire.

"Removing humans from the equation will not change anything wrt the temps/weather/climate."
You can take humans out of the equation in models, and watch CO2 start to drop, but you can't do it in real life.

Japan heatwave declared natural disaster as death toll mounts

Japan’s weather agency has declared a heatwave sweeping the country a natural disaster, with at least 65 deaths recorded in the past week.

An agency spokesman warned that “unprecedented levels of heat” were being seen in some areas.

More than 22,000 people have been admitted to hospital with heat stroke, nearly half of them elderly, emergency officials say.

The heatwave shows no sign of abating, forecasters say.

On Monday, the city of Kumagaya reported a temperature of 41.1C (106F), the highest ever recorded in Japan.

In central Tokyo, temperatures over 40C were also registered for the first time.
