The territory of the fires is mostly hilly land not well suited to airports. I did pick up a 182RG a few years back fairly close to the "Camp" fire area, that airport was literally a carved off hill top. That said, I think that the citizens of that area are in such shock, they're probably not thinking airplanes much.
Further south in California, friends of mine who work at a fair sized airport, last year sent me a couple of photos they took of a DC-10 waterbomber dropping loads behind a ridge on the other side of the street which serves the airport. The aircraft is seen well below the hill tops behind, and through (not above) the electricity wires which run along that street.
