<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0using B-52 bombers to deploy fire retardants and other firefighting liquids over affected areas.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

believe it will quickly save lives \u2014 first, consider the speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The B-52s&#8217; ability to reach speeds of up to 650 mph means they can be dispatched swiftly to any location in the United States, potentially saving thousands of acres and lives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Each deployment can deliver more than 5,000 gallons of liquid, significantly impacting firefighting efforts.
