Finally some logic. It only took all of human history to figure it out: fuel + air + spark = fire. All you have to do is remove one.

You can't remove air, at least not without a majority of the atmosphere blowing off into space. You can limit the spark, but you can't eliminate things like lightning. So that leaves fuel.

By creating breaks in the fuel system, aka, roads, they will slow the fire, and gives hand crews the ability to get to the fires quicker. Using PFAS laden foam bombers is environmentally dangerous, expensive, and concentrates our fire preparedness budgets into the hands of a few. The latter actually being the most dangerous.
