“You have lots of people on this fire at nearly 1,300. We finally had about 1,500 though”
These crews cannot get close to the line due to wind and steep terain.
“We had flames over 100’ high. They told us anything over about 6’ was impossible to fight even with aerial tankers.”
How about hearing that there will NOT be any air support since the environazis didn’t want any slurry falling where their beloved wolves may live or in the Gila trout streems. Guess it is better to burn both out... Oh .. Wait!.. now maybe that slurry isn’t so bad... friggin idiots.
Everywhere we got slurry the vegetation is doing better than non-slurry areas. Yes, friggin idiots. You can also thank oblablaloon for canceling the contract that has been renewed for the last several decades for aerounion who have the largest fleet of aerial tankers in the country. A Republican runs the company. Horny Saladbar runs Department of Interior I don’t know what idiot the loon has running USDA now.
It was just astounding though to see what the tanker could do. He would actually box out houses on three sides to protect them from burning. After the fire we saw lines of red slurry down road lines like fences against the fire.
